A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

In all honesty, I would not recommend Tuya's Marriage to anyone. The movie is a long, boring, and pointless film. It is bad enough that it has no action or comedy, but when you add in the factors of it being so long, and repetitive, it becomes almost unbearable. All the suitors who hear that Tuya needs another man in her life, have little to offer in the category of love. They don't seem to like Tuya for who she is, it looks like there just there to get a wife. This is really all I have to say about the movie, i don't recommend it.

Tuya's Marriage is very interesting, as it looks at the life of Mongolian life in today's lifestyle. The story started with the ending, and then they all started to tell the beginning. I do not know much about the Mongolian lifestyle, but it seems like a very rural experience, that is met by the need for water. The main character, Tuya, is a herder of sheep, and they sell the sheep to make their money. One problem the family has is there is never any water around them, so they need to go and get it with their camel. That is quite the nuisance as they have to only use a certain amount, and once they are out they have to go and get more water. To solve this problem her first husband tried to build a well outside of the house, yet injures himself throughout the process. The well is not finished, and now Tuya has to do all of the work and take care of her two kids and her husband, as he is crippled now and can not work. Tuya goes and finds many suitors, once she finds the first one, it does not go well. The next suitor is named Shenge, and is very close with the family, as he tries to build a well outside of the house too. I will not get into too much detail, as you should see the movie to find out, but then it ends with no one knowing who Tuya really marries. It is the day of her wedding, and her first husband gets in a fight with Shenge and no one truly knows who she marries. I believe she marries Shenge, but no one knows for sure. I would recommend seeing this movie to someone if they are interested in the rural life of Mongolians.

I feel as though this movie is boring to watch if you want to watch a good movie, but it would be good if viewed as a documentary about Mongolian life. Nothing that happens in this movie is particularly interesting, but it does give you an opportunity to learn about Mongolian life, as well as the role that women play in society. This movie was heavily based around a nomadic Mongolian lifestyle, and showed the struggles that a woman like Tuya faced. Since Tuya's husband was disabled, she had to do most of the work around the house and with the livestock. This movie to me was fairly boring, but I found the aspects of Mongolian life fairly interesting to learn about. Overall I found this movie fairly enjoyable from a documentary aspect, but as a film it was fairly boring with bad acting. I would recommend this movie to somebody who wants to learn about Mongolia.

Tuya's marriage is a truly remarkable film showing the family changes and humanity of a Mongolian herds-family, The main actress plays the role of an incredible strong woman named Tuya. The liberal way of thinking of these Mongolian people can be a lesson to folks here in the west. Tuya's disabled husband even encourages her to separate from him because it's best for the family.Tuya however only wants to remarry if her ex husband will be accepted as a family member by her new husband. we follow Tuya on her way towards a new life with several would be-new husbands.a film full of love and caring of a people who live in two worlds , ancient way's of living and modernity. fascinating film and story.
