If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The camel might be on cover and in the title, but make no mistake that the real story is about the family. Nomadic Mongolian shepherds that live in yurts in the middle of the desert... who somehow aren't so different from us. They value family, work hard, want a better future for their children, and love each other. There's a camel in there somewhere.The shots throughout the movie are just breathtaking. Beautiful, scenic, and amazing. The expansive Gobi desert, the ornate cultural decorations of their home, and the rugged form-follows-function simplicity of their tools. I recommend this movie to any National Geographic fans.

The title of this documentary from Mongolia is not a metaphor - there is an actual weeping camel in the movie. Directed by a Mongolian woman and an Italian man who met as students at a German film school and set in the Mongolian steppe, the plot is slight and the directing style is somewhat artless, yet the story is charming and interesting. After a difficult delivery, a mother camel refuses to nurse her young. The camel owners (nomadic Mongolian shepherds, living in a ger in the steppe) send their two children to the city in order to get a violinist to convince the camel, through music, to feed her baby. And the movie allows us to see a particular civilization that is increasingly encroached by the modern world (one of the movie's most poignant scenes had the children demanding their father for a television).

In the spring of the Gobi Desert, in South Mongolia, a nomadic family of shepherds has troubles when one camel has a tough two days delivery, immediately rejecting the offspring. The family unsuccessfully uses their best efforts trying to force the female to accept and feed the newborn. When there is no further hope of saving the animal, they send their two sons to bring a musician from the nearest town to perform a ritual and save the "baby camel".I do not know, and I was really curious to know, how could be the original screenplay of this documentary. I believe the first intention of directors Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni would be to document the lifestyle of a nomadic family of shepherds, showing a different culture for the Westerners. However, fortune gave them the opportunity of sharing a great experience with the viewers with the ritual that brought the camel to accept the offspring. Thank you, Messrs. Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni, for such touching, beautiful and wonderful film. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Camelos Também Choram" ("Camels Also Weep")

Like many people I wondered why I should see a film about a Mongolian family and their camel but this is a film full of grace. Byambasuren Dava and Luigi Falorni directed and wrote this story about a Mongolian family and the birth of a camel. The birth scene is wonderful and its the real thing. It is film full of miracles and charm.The mother rejects her new born and despite much effort to coax the mother into accepting her baby everything fails. Your heart goes out to the beautiful little camel who will surely die if she does not drink milk. The baby rejects the milk given by the human family. A miracle is needed and the miracle is music. I wont spoil the surprise because it is riveting. The animals are beautiful as is the love the people have for their four legged family. These may be working creatures but the love and respect people have for their live stock puts our culture to shame. The scenes of the desert are glorious. The people are all non actors and they are beautiful. They live a stark existence but you cannot help but envy them. The curtain call at the end was beautiful, those graceful people are an enchantment. The miracle of music is matched with the beauty of the people. Those little camels are a joy! Those camels give the most moving emotional performances I have seen for years.
