rating: 1/5 - i walked out after 30 mins
country: China
type: documentary
loved:
- nothing
didn't love:
- shot on video, in 3x4!
- bad editing. this did not need to be a 3 hour film.
- how the subjects were filmed and came across
blurbie:
i should have taken the caution in the film guide that this film was by "one of the most controversial documentary filmmakers working in China today". a documentary about the fringes of chinese society shouldn't be glammed up but the first 30 minutes that i could bear to sit through frustrated me with, what i felt to be, a test by the filmmaker of how much i can take. well, i'm not interested in crap cinematography and poor editing and filming people in such a way that made me feel really uncomfortable with what i was watching.
