Comments: This is scene after scene of someone walking out of the shot

Zhang Lu has been following me on letterboxd, taking notes. Now he's making films for me

When Ni Ni delivers the big reveal, in three sentences, of why she abruptly left for London ... Chun responds: "damn, that was heavy", plays a song on his mobile and they do a dance number. I stopped the film to celebrate that moment

Non-sequiturs and "heavy" quips without resolve

The daughter

There's nothing here. "To think back is to sorrow" is old. You can't go home

There is so much in between what is shown

What is shown is beautifully photographed

Fukuoka 2.0. A masterpiece


Summary: At a Japanese restaurant nestled within the busy streets of Beijing, Li Dong convinces his older brother Li Chun to travel together to the Japanese city of Yanagawa to find and catch up with their childhood sweetheart Liu Chuan.
