Bleak but marvelous
Four hour Chinese epic. From the reviews which claimed it was boring arthouse I expected a non sensicle four hour delve into weirdness. Its not art house at all (well apart from the ending), instead it is a bleak walk through an impoverished inner Chinese city, with the space in the film creating a feel of claustrophobia as each of the characters lives start closing in on them. The theme really is of blame and understanding the difference and ownership of responsibility.
