Love the super surrealistic scenes embedded in the realistic scenes. The parents are so ignorant or forced to be ignorant to obtain their life in the edge of big city. Even stronger than SO LONG, MY SON. A master while bold piece.
It's very clear that the director leads the family in the film from their hidden history, unknown even to the mother and the grandson, which is "not proud of", to the edge of the big city. What is not changed is the crucial fact that after they were robbed of their own land and houses, the rural family has no where to go.
The suppression on the director from Chinese censorship has been long imposed on all Chinese films. With his defiance and confrontation through this film, hope there will be more and more excellent Chinese films coming out.
BTW, it's definitely not a Children's film but can be a film for children.
