The Road(Fang Xiang Zhi Lu)explores human emotions in the midst of a shaping political turmoil.
A love story from a country that is struggling for its identity between tradition and modernity: Ticket girl Li Chunfang (played by Zhang Jingchu) works on a bus line during the Cultural Revolution. Much older Lao Cui (played by Wei Fan), widowed and celebrated Bus conductor (Mao shook his hands once), is secretly in love with her. She, instead, falls for an intellectual, Dr. Liu, a doctor from Shanghai she meets on the bus. But this kind of love is forbidden and one day they get caught and he is sent to a labor camp. They shall never meet again. But Li never forgets her love, even though she eventually marries much older bus driver Cui. She also takes care of him after he has a fatal accident. But what about the doctor from Shanghai who is trying to get in contact with her again? Too late she finds out why her husband went out on that night before the accident… This is a poetic movie about love in the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution. It is about inner strength, loyalty and the tragedy of life. And it is a film about the passing of time: Li's old bus finally awaits disposal at the museum, candles turn into neon lights, old sand roads into highways… The Road is a strong film that spans around five decades and manages to reflect the changes in the Chinese political times represented in the lives of the main characters. An epic movie, beautifully shot and with excellent actors that will touch you for quite some time!
