Narrative
A Chinese woman lives in silence for herself, celebrating the prosperous Belle Era with songs and dances. The woman doesn’t have a single line of dialogue throughout the film.
The overall feeling is like a silent film, and the main character doesn’t even have a dialogue!
It is a very abstract film, similar to a pseudo-documentary, with the style of director Jia Zhangke himself. It’s like a mixture of Chinese golden songs mixed with a sense of ghosts and animals (like the secondary editing of Jia Zhangke’s film), depicting the changes in China in the 21st century and the changes in the lives of generations.
What a real genius!
Director Jia Zhangke used his own filmed materials to create such a powerful work! Although there is not a single line of dialogue in the film, it richly expresses the inner emotions of the main woman Qiaoqiao.
Jia Zhangke is still so strong!
Although the image quality is very old (after all, it is the material), the cinematography is very good, so the images expressed are not only rustic, but also have a sense of the strangeness of the core of dreams, familiar from the county style. literature.
