Энэ киноны тухай

In the Ottoman province of Hijaz during World War I, a young Bedouin boy, Theeb, experiences a greatly hastened coming of age as he embarks, uninvited but eager for adventure, on a perilous desert journey with his elder brother Hussein to guide a British officer Edward and his guide Marji to their secret destination. Immersed in a way of life that has endured for centuries, the brothers are unaware of the tremendous upheavals taking place at the fringes of their world: the First World War is raging in Europe, the Ottoman Empire is coming undone, the Great Arab Revolt is brewing, and the British officer T.E. Lawrence is plotting with the Arab Prince Faisal to establish an Arab kingdom. The ensuing journey, filled with danger and hardship, will result in Theeb's greatly hastened maturation. If Theeb is to survive he must quickly learn about adulthood, trust and betrayal, in a culture where a man's honour and righteousness determines his inclusion or expulsion from the community.

Wanted something different, just the right thing. I've been to Turkey, and this brought back some memories. Highly recommend.

Really loved watching this. I spend time with the Bedouin of Wadi Rum from time to time and the depiction of the day to day lives of the men is quite accurate. Wonderful cinematography, how could it not be in this amazing place? Great acting from local non-professionals. A must watch.

One of the best films I have seen in a long time..
