“How far can you escape from your husband?”
In his fourth feature film, Mongolian director Janchivdorj Sengedorj explores the themes of domestic violence, dependency, and how to escape the kind of vicious circle these aspects can create. Even though Mongolian women’s status in society is better compared to other Asian states, recent trends show how political and social change have altered the face of the country. In a report written by Morris Rossabi for Asian Society, for example, the author explains how cutbacks have resulted in a rise in unemployment, which in return increased the rate of alchol-related crimes and domestic abuse. Besides the rate of divorces increasing due to these developments, many women demand governmental action to “criminalize domestic violence.”Ultimately, “One Life of Two Women” may be seen as a mirror to some of these developments.

Winner of the Best Film Award at Ulaanbaatar International Film Festival and on its way to screen at San Francisco, “Life” is a strange but definitely very interesting effort in the genre film category
As the film begins, we are introduced to Khulan, a very beautiful and very rich, but also quite cruel young woman, and her servant, Baigal, who is trying to put some sense into her “boss”, but to no avail. Soon later, and during a school excursion ion the woods, Khulan’s son, Sonor, is lost. Flashforward to sometime later, and we watch a rundown Khulam stripped of any kind of pride or luxury, taking a pilgrimage trip in the harshest way possible. At the same time, and through a number of extensive flashbacks, we learn of Khulan’s story since her school years, when she used to be a spoiled “princess” who thought she could do whatever she wanted,...
