It Takes Time to Become a Hero in Venice Days Feature ‘To Kill a Mongolian Horse’
‘To Kill a Mongolian Horse’ director Xiaoxuan Jiang on the dichotomy between a role that has to be ‘performed’ and the desire to be one's true self.
Inspired by true events and her real-life friend Saina — who ended up playing the lead — she decided to tell a story about a Mongolian horseman who becomes a performer, all the while trying to save his ranch. The film, selected for the Venice Days section and produced by Zhulin Mo for Da Huang Pictures, is a co-production between Malaysia, the U.S., Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. Outside of these shows, he’s not a part of this grandiose ‘Mongolian hero journey.’ When he finally does something unexpected, it feels like you are there in the audience and an actor suddenly breaks the fourth wall,” she says.
