 PRAGUE FILM FESTIVAL
Urga, filmed on the steppes of Inner Mongolia, was the first film made by Mikhalkov outside Russia.
At the end of the film, Gombo and Pagma leave their tent with the ‘urga' of the title, a pole with a noose for catching cattle which is also used to mark out a private space for lovemaking - a symbol, according to Mikhalkov, of love, solitude and power.
Characteristic of Mikhalkov's films are Urga's emphasis on cultural identity, history and memory, while the exquisitely observed family scenes, complemented by beautiful shots of the prairie, helped the film to win the Golden Lion at Venice.

 Film Review: Close to Eden (Urga): ThingsAsian
The film's title in its native language is Urga, a Mongolian word for a kind of noose on a long pole, almost like a prairie flyrod used by Mongolian horsemen to capture wild horses and runaway livestock.
The opening scene of the film introduces the urga as a metaphor, but by the time the credits roll, it has taken on a whole new meaning.
Within the context of romantic comedy, Close to Eden is a picture postcard of life in northern Asia, with its vast steppes and its refreshing lack of urban conveniences.
