The Cave Of The Yellow Dog


 

The Cave of the Yellow Dog tells the story of the age-old bond between man and dog, a bond which experiences a new twist through the eternal cycle of reincarnation in Mongolia. Nansal (6), the oldest daughter of a Mongolian nomad family finds a small dog one day while out in the fields. When she brings him home, her father is afraid he could bring bad luck and demands that she immediately get rid of him. Despite her father's orders, she keeps the puppy and tries to hide him from her skeptical father. When the family uproots to move to another camp, the father leaves the puppy behind, tied up to a post. Only when the dog proves himself to the father by protecting the family's baby boy from a flock of threatening vultures does the father accept him and welcome him into their family.

5 out of 10 I don't often give 10!
Tim from Cork, 26 Apr 2007
Apocalypse Now, Cool Hand Luke, Requiem for a Dream, The Straight Story, The Station Agent, The Cave of the Yellow Dog. These are all films I have rated a perfect 10. This is a film for anyone that has a family, for anyone that has ever struggled for anything, for anyone that has a dog, for anyone. It seems to be more documentary than drama based around a family of Mongolian nomads with a narative introduced by the discovery of a dog by the eldest daughter in a cave. Just watch it!!!!

3.5 out of 10 memorable

Saw this a few weeks back but it still sticks in the mind. A fascinating insight into the lives of one Mongol family as they go about their daily life. There is a light plot but the main point is to show the viewer what these people are like and it was all very watchable and moved along nicely.

5 out of 10 Dont miss it!

Such a good movie-a long time i had to see such a great movie. It is more a documentary but absolutely capturing. Not much action, just simplicity from which we can learn here in the western world. Absolutely stunning movie - I sooooo recommend it!!

gentle, touching movie that feels more like a documentary on a Mongolian family than a movie. Enjoyed this and would recommend
