Tuya is the persevering wife of Bater, a herdsman who lost his legs exploring water in the Neimenggu (Inner Mongolia) grassland that is fast vanishing as a result of desertification. She takes up the sole responsibility to make a living for the family, but develops a dislocated lumbar from her hard labor and risks paralysis herself. Faced with harsh reality, the couple decide to divorce so that Tuya can seek a better life. Imposing her own conditions of a remarriage - her new husband must take care of Bater, their children and their poor herding land, the strong-minded, stubborn, but also gentle, susceptible Tuya embarks on an arduous search for a new husband, and meets suiters who are rich but disingenuous, likable but shy, and saves a suicidal Bater who still longs for Tuya and their children along the way.
Leave your thoughts about Tuya's Marriage.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThoroughly gratifying in its consistent inventiveness and has a grasp of human nature so universal that there's no feeling of the exotic about the film and its people. |
| TV GuideKen FoxThis small, sweet drama from Chinese director Wang Quang An is picturesque, romantic and unexpectedly droll tale of life in one the world's most remote regions. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussComic and heartrending, Wang Quan'an's study of a woman who's too responsible for her own good has the mythic quality of a great Western, and is as weirdly piercingly intimate as a good Sam Shepard play. |
| Toronto StarBruce DemaraDirector Wang Quan'an shows us a China of contrasts and in transition, where a life of traditional farming is harder than ever to sustain while life in the nearest city includes nice hotels, decent health care and good schools. |
| Globe and MailKamal Al-SolayleeWhen it comes to exploring with dignity and humour the choices a woman must make for her family, Tuya's Marriage is the clear winner. |
| San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonThough a heartbreaking film, there are certainly moments of quirky humor. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonTuya is joins the ranks of other strong, female characters created by Chinese directors and writers, in this case battling against the odds to keep her family together. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaria GarciaThe film's social commentary is so subtle, and arises so naturally from the plot, that Tuya's Marriage might be mistaken for simple, straightforward entertainment. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonWhat keeps the film from out-and-out miserabilism is a deadpan comic tone, a subtly brilliant command of cinematic language, and the extraordinarily gifted actress at its center. |
| Maclean's MagazineBrian D. JohnsonNow that the dust is settling from the Bejiing Olympics, here's a chance to [experience] a very different kind of Chinese spectacle. |
