yesterday, i got to watch two of the four films being shown. some quick notes...
the world (by zhang ke jia)
- basically it's a compilation of stories of people in modern china with the two lovers namely tao and taisheng as focal point.
- this film will demand on the audience a little patience coz it's too long, very slow paced, and the camera is mostly still. but it's a rewarding experience in the end.
- great cast, the dialogue and interaction between the characters are very real
- tackles a lot of social issues especially on how globalization is affecting china
- presents to us in a subtle manner... the price we pay in our quest to better our lives
- memorable quote:
"taisheng: are we dead?
tao: no, we have only just begun."
in love we trust (by xiaoshuai wang)
- a different kind of love story
- brings the audience deep into a moral quagmire
- challenges the viewers to think
- great performance by the cast
- excellent screenplay
- favorite scene: the last scene where the troubled couple was having dinner... (it was sort of painful to watch but it was uplifting in an awkward way)
the festival will run until tuesday next week. you guys still have time. also make sure to visit the chinese painting exhibit at the shang level 2 lobby.
