Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It helps that the central performers are experienced actors, and that they know their roles so well.
Ultimately engages less for its story of actorly existential despair than for its boundary-hopping formal innovations and glimpse into another kind of Chinese 'cultural revolution.'
Intriguing in concept ... [and] just as compelling in execution.
A brave experiment.
