The Velvet Queen

1 hours 36 minutes | Rated E

High up on the Tibetan plateau, among unexplored and inaccessible valleys, lies one of the last sanctuaries of the wild world where rare and undiscovered fauna lives. Vincent Munier, one of the world’s most renowned wildlife photographers, takes the adventurer and novelist Sylvain Tesson (In the Forest of Siberia) with him on his latest mission. For several weeks, they’ll explore these valleys searching for unique animals and try to spot the snow leopard, one of the rarest and most difficult big cats to approach.

Besides the stunning, stirring camerawork, “Queen” one-ups other adventure docs with its meditative quality… San Jose Mercury News

It’s slow cinema, but I felt like I had taken a journey to the Tibetan landscape. FilmWeek (KPCC – NPR Los Angeles)

Beautiful if surprisingly gabby… Chicago Tribune
