    • Synopsis
    • In this visually powerful documentary one of China’s most interesting filmmakers explores social structures and the industrial provinces of the inner parts of Mongolia. The narrative reflects on Dante’s circle of hell and makes political as well as philosophical observations. The people portrayed in ’Behemoth’ are presented through images rather than words which underlines the visual experience.
