'Tuya's Marriage' Crowned Best Film at Berlin Fest

Chinese drama "Tuya's Marriage" about an Inner Mongolian herdswoman and her two husbands won the Golden Bear prize for best picture at the 57th Berlin Film Festival.

Director Wang Quan'an said he could not imagine a better gift for Chinese New Year as he accepted the statuette from jury president Paul Schrader.

"Tuya's Marriage" (Tuya De Hunshi), which was widely tipped as a favourite for the Golden Bear after its screening last Saturday, was chosen the best of 22 pictures in what critics said was far from a vintage year at the festival.

It shows the drastic social and economic impact of China's rural exodus with the story of a woman who must choose between love and her family's survival in the Mongolian steppes.

Tuya is played by actress Yu Nan, who was among the favorites to win the best actress Silver Bear in Berlin this year. That prize eventually went to Nina Hoss for "Yella," the third German actress to win the award in three years.

词汇:
herdswoman:n. 女牧者, 牧人
statuette:n. 小雕像
vintage year:n.有卓越成就的一年
drastic:adj. 激烈的
exodus:n. 退出, 大批离去
