Shanghai Tales
Season 1
2 episodes
- 1. All About My FriendsDocumentary giving an intimate view of the pressurised life of hard-working Liu Wei as he attempts to balance work and life commitments and satisfy his parents and his demanding girlfriend. Guo Jing and Ke Dingding's film hints at the personal sacrifices and human aspect of this way of living, while never forcing the viewer into any single interpretive position. As we travel through the film the skill of the directors allows us the impression of being there, and the questions that the contributors ask themselves on such subjects as the meaning of life suddenly recapture their huge significance.CCJul 8, 2010
