Liked the ending. Worth watching but not a re-watch.
The plot is not new. The acting performances of all actors brought the somewhat stale storyline to life.The story is about a cultural writer who goes to a very rural village to cover the age old folk tales in that village, tales of the Weasel Immortal, rat demons, and Fox Immortal. As he arrives at the village, they are holding a funeral for a dearly departed who was actually the one the tales were woven around. Piece by piece, the writer (also the narrator in the movie) uncovers the truths of events spanning 2 generations.
it's worth a watch when you've run out of good movies. but not so worth a re-watch.
It is under a different title on iQiyi, Northeast Folktales.
