This woman





FBeibei is an ordinary, married, and motherly woman, who lives a standard, methodical life. She was laid off from her job, the primary source of her family's income, during the COVID-19 pandemic. She decides to return to her southern hometown in search of opportunities, initiating the process of settling her family and reorganizing her various relationships. With courage and endurance, she embarks on a continuous exploration, while striving to preserve her desires.


This film adopts a pseudo-documentary style to present the image of a woman confined by reality and relationships, enduring life pressures and inner solitude, yet persistently expanding her sense of self. It portrays her journey of self-exploration and emotions, beyond her roles as a wife, mother, and daughter.






这 个 女 人





贝贝是一个普通的“标准的/丝滑无误的”已婚已育女人,作为家庭主要支撑的她在大流行中被公司裁员,决定回南方老家寻找机会,由此开始安顿家人、整理自己的各路关系,在勇气、隐忍下不断探索,并努力保存自己的欲望。


本片使用伪纪录片的拍摄方式,呈现了一位困于现实与关系、承受着生活压力与内心孤独并坚持拓展自我的女性形象。表达着力在她作为妻子、母亲和女儿等身份之外,对自我、情感和欲望的探索过程。












Farewell My Concubine





Farewell My Concubine is a Chinese epic historical drama film directed by Chen Kaige, starring Leslie Cheung, Gong Li and Zhang Fengyi. Adapted for the screen by Lu Wei, based on the novel by Lilian Lee, the film is set in a politically tumultuous 20th-century China, from the early days of the Republic of China to the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution. It chronicles the troubled relationships amongst two lifelong friends, the Peking opera actors Cheng Dieyi (Cheung) and Duan Xiaolou (Zhang), and Xiaolou's wife Juxian (Gong).


The film's themes include confusion of identity and blurred lines between real life and the stage, portrayed by the revered opera actor Dieyi, whose unrequited love for Xiaolou persists throughout. Commentators also noted themes of political and societal disturbances in 20th-century China, which is typical of the Chinese Fifth Generation cinema.
