This movie is much more inferior than Dwelling in Fuchun Mountain, the former picture of Gu Xiaogang, which is highly praised by critics. In Dwelling by the West Lake, everyone is yelling in an exaggerated way, making audiences very uncomfortable. The story is very conventional and the performance of actors is very bad. This is definitely not CINEMA. If you like Gu Xiaogang's former picture, you will be disappointed by the new one. It is a pity that China loses an important young firmmaker. If Gu Xiaogang continues to produce pictures like that, he will say goodbye to most of the important firm festivals.
