About How Nyangar Moved Up the Ranks
Based on the novel "Career" by Polish writer Tadeusz Dolenga-Mostowicz by Nikodim Dyzma. Nyangar is a man who has temporarily moved to the city from a village where he is neither on TV nor in the newspapers. The story of the film unfolds when he finds himself working in a dry cleaning shop for a very low salary as a washerman, a watchman, and a cleaner. Although Nyangar is bright and has a reasonable life, he has no choice but to flee due to multiple scams. He believes that if he can penetrate the elite circle, he can achieve success, but no one knows him. He worked as an agitator during the election, but as soon as the candidate was elected, he stopped caring about him. So he worked on both sides and made a little money by selling information from one side to the other. The film was banned at the time for political reasons.
Directed by Tumen-Ulzii Budsuren, How Nyangar Moved Up the Ranks leans on a strong ensemble — Gan-Ochir Ganbaatar, Ravdan Gombo, Erdenebat Tserendagva — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2009.
