A New Wave in Chinese Decorations The story would be banal if it were about it. And the point is in the characters of the characters, somewhat resembling the Kimkiduk, and in the atmosphere of the Chinese industrial neo-noir.
Home and work. A single widow, serving as a bailiff, is at leisure looking for her man, attending dance parties arranged by the marriage agency. Men do happen, but they don't. Until someone she takes for one of them begins to follow her, and there is no intimacy between them. The nuance is that Wu Hongyan not only works in court, but is also an executor of death sentences. And her new man is the husband of one of the executed, who accidentally learned the identity of the trigger puller. . .
No Hollywood, with endless snotty flashbacks about shot happy family life and other emotional stimulants will not be close. An almost meditative film, which associatively, personally, was perceived as a mixture of early Godard and Kar Vai. Yes, the style of the film is most reminiscent of the French new wave in Chinese scenery.
Without broad recommendations, many will probably get bored. Who wants to know that they are here.
It was very interesting to observe the exotic nature of Chinese jurisprudence and the nuances of execution. No, there will be no bloody horrors here, we are talking about the very specifics of the procedure.
