Synopsis

“It’s old-school Hollywood filmmaking — comparisons to Lubitsch or Paul Fejos’ LONESOME are not unwarranted — a bittersweet look at the lunacy of a world turned upside down by decades of war and chaos. Chang’s melancholy and soulful performance is the film’s heart, the core around which Yeh and Bee’s crazier antics swirl.” —Mubi
