You expect a film with familiar story. Maybe, too familiar. And it is. But in nuanced, powerful forms and strong nuances. A man looking for save the life of his wife. China by period to period. The high price and the 20 years to return. The revenge. And the status of piece of game for the man . All is seductive. The cinematography, the language, the destination of heart, the end. And that makes it not exactly a horror but a lesson about people under politics and their neeeds. Result - not exactly the thrill but the support or just kick to reflection about small things defining us and about political contextes , more powerful than we know.
