ASIAN VISION
Director: Bi Gan
Producer: Ding Jianguo, Li Zhaoyu
Screenwriter: Bi Gan
Synopsis:
In the subtropical and foggy city of Kaili, morose poet Chen Sheng decides to fulfil his dead mother’s wish and sets off on a surreal journey to look for his brother’s abandoned child. A lonely old lady asks Chen to take on his way an old photograph, a shirt and a cassette to her old sweetheart. Chen passes a strange town called Dangmai, where time is not linear and people’s lives complement each other. There, Chen experiences the past, present and future and begins to reflect upon his life.
While most Chinese films are known for their unflinching grasp on reality, this debut from Bi Gan artfully conflates dream into reality, intricately weaving the present and memories with hidden clocks and watches scattered throughout the film, taking us down the infinitely winding road of time.
