2013, 96 min, digital. In Shandong dialect with English subtitles. Introduced by critic and Cinema on the Edge curator Shelly Kraicer on Friday.
This curiously beautiful Daoist comedy, the opening film of BIFF2013, is a first film full of promise. Wang, painting with scrupulously composed, eloquent black-and-white images, tells of a young urbanite who brings his girlfriend to meet his farmer parents in the countryside of Shandong province.
