Springtime in a Small Town (2002)

Posted on 08:16 by uthpa
Highly Recommended
China/France/The Netherlands
Feature Film
Original Title: 小城之春
Director: Tian Zhuangzhuang
Writers: Ah Cheng, Li Tianji
Cinematographer: Mark Li Ping-bing
Composer: Xu Jianping
Cast: Hu Jingfan, Wu Jun, Xin Baiqing, Ye Xiaokeng, Lu Si Si

Adapted from the same source story as Fei Mu’s much acclaimed Spring in a Small Town (1948), Tian’s beautifully nuanced film, coming after an enforced ten-year hiatus, exquisitely exploring an emotionally complicated ménage-a-trois, is a visually sumptuous and really rather moving work of great delicacy.
