None of the usual independent cinemas I visit have been showing much in the way of foreign films recently, so a well reviewed Chinese film at the David Lean cinema in Croydon was worth a whirl. It must be ten, maybe twenty years since I last visited this cinema.
The only son of a middle-class family becomes friends with a fellow student who gradually becomes integrated into the family. In the background is the Chinese one-child policy, and gradually the dynamics within the family change. It’s a slow film – I fell to sleep at one point, but I think only for a moment or two! But overall I was intrigued and enjoyed it. But it’s a bit weird!
