Sinopsis(1)
Un convicto es enviado a un campo de trabajo en el desolado noroeste de China, durante la Revolución Cultural del país. Utilizando su ingenio, y con el único fin de ver a su hija, quien ha sido filmada en una película, logra escapar y huye en dirección al cine de un pueblo cercano. Allí espera encontrar esa cinta de película y hacerse con ella. Sin embargo, en dicho lugar se cruza con una vagabunda que está desesperada por conseguir el mismo carrete de película y que logra robarlo. Curiosamente, este enigmático objeto, que ambos anhelan por motivos muy distintos, se convertirá en la raíz de una inesperada amistad. (Vértigo Films Esp.)

I liked how the film works in an obsequious, fetishistic way with the newsreel, except that it then films everything with an ugly digital camera. Which also exposes how badly lit the whole thing is. Half the film takes place at night, where everyone has quadruple shadows of similar intensity as if they were being lit with someone’s high beams. In terms of content, it's sort of a juvenile declaration of love for film in general as a social event that bonds communities and influences social development. The characters pretty much pay second fiddle to this and mostly act like little kids, their motivations are very much forced, and they change their personalities hectically depending on where the mood of the film needs them to be at the time. At least the exteriors and the original setting/time period are interesting, but I still didn't find the film altogether believable, because my only experience with Zhang (Matt Damon in The Great Wall) so far suggests he's more of an overfed, over-the-hill movie whore.
