Song of Tibet (2000)

Stunningly shot on real locations, Song of Tibet is much as its title sounds - a wistful, sometimes clunky melodrama with lots of ethnographic detail that's a modern take on the ethnic-minority pics that China has cranked out since the '50s. Pic centers on a Tibetan woman, Yixizhuoma, and her turbulent marriage to a proud warrior type, Jiacuo, across half a century.
