STUNNING MONGOLIAN SAGA
The story of WOLF TOTEM is set in 1969, when student Chen Zen (William Feng Shaofeng) is sent from Peking in China to the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia to teach shepherds. Instead, he learns about the shepherds and the bond they
share with the wolves, a
bond that is threatened by a government apparatchik. The sweeping saga
tells of human bonding with the nature describing the captivating life
of Mongol nomads and animals as well. With the budget of $40 million,
the movie was shot for almost a year in Mongolia, and Annaud had to
acquire a dozen wolf pups in China in order to train them for several
years for the film. Annaud said one of the most challenging scenes was
depicting a pack of wolves attacking horses during a blizzard in the
middle of the night. The
music in the film was composed by James Horner.
