🎙️ EPISODE 222: 12.29.19 *Review starts @ ~ 16:52
A “hangout movie” but you’re not sure if you really want to be there (or anywhere). There are boogeymen sprinkled throughout Bi Gan's debut feature film that are never seen: hairy "wild men" who live in the forests, gangs who do violent things like cut off people's hands before burying them alive. But it's the evils in plain sight (isolation, sadness) that we really need to watch out for. At times, the film's slowness feels forced, and it's constant allusions to clocks/time kind of beat that metaphor to a pulp. But it's nonetheless a solid first feature from a budding Chinese director. |
