It was a pleasure to see this movie in Florence yesterday! Thanks to the director Xie Fei for his kind message that was projected before the start of the film and for making this beautifully shot movie. The pacing is quite slow but it's not a bad thing, it just serves the purpose of laying the ground for the story to come and broadens our understanding of the characters' behaviour. The landscape is also quite beautiful but it becomes this open spaced prison for the women protagonists as they continue to live their lives, which are only oriented by their husbands' needs and wantings, even if in different forms.

If you have the occasion watch it!
