		Combining drama and documentary, The Story Of The Weeping Camel is a lovingly observed and fascinating journal of day-to-day survival in the Mongolian Gobi desert.

		Nonetheless, The Story Of The Weeping Camel is a cinematic oasis, both refreshing and thoroughly life-affirming.

		CAMEL may, in fact, be more impressive than those deserved success stories, if only in how far it had to travel to reach U.S. audiences.
		The plot of THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL is surprisingly intense, considering its lack of complexity: a camel gives birth to an albino calf and immediately rejects it, leaving it for dead as sometimes happens.
		The camels are adorably cute (and good actors to boot, especially the cute-as-a-button calf, Botok), but the directors' real subject is the relationship of this nomadic clan to their environment, their history, and each other.

	USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - The Story of the Weeping Camel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In "The Story of the Weeping Camel" (ThinkFilm), a family of nomadic herders summons a musician from a far-off village to perform an ancient ritual in the hopes of coaxing a mother camel into nursing the newborn calf which she rejected at birth.
		The images of the baby camel crying for its mother's affection as it stumbles across the barren landscape are heartrending, especially when juxtaposed with shots of the other colts coddling contently with their own mothers -- the net result being, by the end of the film, the camel isn't the only one weeping.
		And while the dysfunctional dromedaries (actually, they are two-humped Bactrian camels) are the true stars of the film, their human co-stars bring an honesty and unvarnished sincerity to their mostly improvised performances.

		At a time when the definition of documentary is becoming fuzzy beyond usefulness, "Weeping Camel" both clouds and clears the picture further.
		It is a record of a true event, yet the humans in its story seem to be acting out for the camera.

		Set in the Gobi desert of Mongolia, the film presents a narrative about a camel and the rejection of its newborn, and how its nomadic owners, economically dependent on the camels, attempt to resolve the situation.
		The film's spectacular scenery is vivid, from the vast windswept plains dotted with animal herds to the colorful tent homes of the nomads to the bustling bazaar of a nearby town.
		Weeping Camel doesn't in any way comment on this situation--the closest it gets to social commentary is the way it sentimentalizes and then questions the infatuation the family's youngest boy exhibits toward television.

	OFFOFFOFF film review THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL Mongolian movie by Byambasuren Davaa, Luigi Falorni with Janchiv ...
		"The Story of the Weeping Camel" is a Mongolian filmmaker's poetic spin on the documentary genre, telling the story of the birth and difficult life of a rare white camel and the family that cares for it.
		Furthermore, this particular family and their camels were, in a manner of speaking, "cast," in that they were chosen by co-directors Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni as the best fit for a story idea that was based on a movie Davaa remembered from her childhood.
		The drama kicks in when a mother camel experiences an exceedingly difficult birth; the herders, trying to ease her struggle, are amazed when the colt that eventually emerges is completely white, a rarity.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Story Of The Weeping Camel
		The camels are the heart of the story.
		I wonder if Ingen Temee's titular weeping in the picture's climactic scene was a genuine phenomenon serendipitously captured, or a bit of shameless anthropomorphizing on the part of the filmmakers.
		Overall, The Story of the Weeping Camel is mediocre.

		The story, about a camel that, after a difficult delivery, refuses to nurse her young colt, and the ageless methods the Mongolian shepherds use to right the situation, is blessedly simple.
		The value of the camel is illustrated the use of the camel, as the camel provides transportation, milk, rope, and even toys for children.
		The Story of the Weeping Camel is in some aspects a dreary cinematic experience, but it has to be slow and monotonous compared to western living.

		As you may have been able to deduce from the film’s title, the story does not revolve entirely around human beings; the focal point, instead, is a female camel and her newborn calf.
		It’s unfortunate that the story is never engaging enough to warrant your investment beyond marveling at the movie’s often stunning visual components.

	Laramie Movie Scope: The Story of the Weeping Camel (Die Geschichte vom weinenden Kamel)
		August 21, 2004 -- “The Story of the Weeping Camel” (Die Geschichte vom weinenden Kamel) is a kind of politically-correct fairy tale from Mongolia.
		The story concerns a family of Mongolian nomads surviving on the fringes of a modern society.
		I found myself rooting for the camels, which are curiously affecting creatures, more like their American cousins the Llamas and Alpacas, with their huge, soft eyes and gentle nature, than their cantankerous desert-dwelling relatives in Africa and the Middle East.

		So that was the actual starting point: the story of a salvation, of the loss of love and of a rather peculiar way to find it again.
		Besides the music of the ritual itself, it’s the strong unity of the family—and the animals are part of the family too—that saves the young camel from certain death.
