焦點導演 - 萬瑪才旦

故事情從年輕人Gonpo拖著家中的混種獒犬往城市旅行開始，他本來想賣掉老狗賺錢，事與願違，沒有賣錢，反而換來了一匹馬回家，老父怨兒子沒志氣不爭氣，麻煩事接踵而至！在西藏，當傳統和宗教的力量依然強大，又怎麼能夠和入侵性的現代文明思想并行不悖呢﹖看似隨意的劇情發展，主角們不多語，萬瑪才旦用沉穩細膩的長鏡頭記錄著西藏老一代和新世代的故事，揭示當地代溝問題和社會變化，延續他電影中的現實主義風格。

Pema Tseden again explores the conflict between evaporating traditional values and encroaching modern society with this tragicomic story about a family dog that’s discovered to be worth a fortune. The nomad mastiff is a prized breed worth millions to wealthy Chinese, causing many to be stolen from Tibetan families and sold on the black market. Before his own family’s mastiff is taken, a young man sells the dog for a quick payday. But his father, an aging herder, is furious at losing his dog to the Chinese and seeks to reclaim it, no matter the cost. Old Dog is an incisive look at Tibet’s changing society that stands as Pema Tseden’s most unsettling and sharply allegorical work yet.
