A Guqin-Driven Cinematic Experience
This is one of my top-shelf watches, but I don't think it is for everyone. Interpreted as black-and-white, and grey with mist-covered picturesque backdrops, soft dialogue, and an ongoing guqin, it’s a performative feature that’s somewhat silent. But the notes are charged and tense. The soundtrack and choreography are as powerful as the visuals and play a significant role in shaping the narrative. I can definitely see myself watching this again—which is one of my key criteria for a top-shelf watch.
