2012, 67 min, digital. In Mandarin with English subtitles. Introduced by critic and Cinema on the Edge curator Shelly Kraicer on Friday. Q&A with director Li Luo at both screenings!
Based on the first three chapters of Journey to the West, this winner of the 2012 Vancouver International Film Festival’s Dragons & Tigers Prize is a quietly astonishing tour de force that hinges on a lovely conceit: relocating to the present day the famous story of the Tang dynasty Emperor Taizong’s visit to the underworld.
