The Sun Beaten Path (PG)

Director: Sonthar Gyal
Starring: Yeshe Lhadruk, Lo Kyu
Tibet, 2011, 1 hour 29 minutes, subtitles

With vast, desolate landscapes and often dream-like sequences, this cinematic gem is a really authentic portrait of contemporary Tibet. Walking home to a remote part of Tibet through barren mountains and dusty wind-swept plains, the troubled Nyma is joined by an old man whose gently persistent good sense allows Nyma to gradually unburden himself. A simple tale, elliptically told that really shows how Tibet is now with smart Chinese buses speeding past Tibetan couples prostrating themselves on the hard shoulder all the way to Lhasa.

Gyda thirweddau anferth, diffaith ac ambell i olygfa freuddwydiol, mae’r berl sinematig hon yn bortread gwbl gywir o’r Dibet gyfoes. Yn cerdded adref i ran anghysbell o Dibet trwy fynyddoedd diffrwyth a gwastadeddau gwyntog, llychlyd, ymunir â’r Nyma anesmwyth gan hen ddyn addfwyn sy’n raddol yn helpu Nyma i ddadlwytho’i broblemau. Stori syml, wedi’i hadrodd yn eliptig, sy’n dangos darlun cywir o sefyllfa Tibet ar hyn o bryd, gyda bysys Tsieineaidd cyflym yn gwibio heibio cyplau Tibetaidd yr holl ffordd i Lhasa.
