Shanghai Dreams (Qing Hong 青红)
This has to be the best Chinese film I’ve seen for a while.
An intimate portrait of the displaced, Qing Hong takes place in a world where dreams are unlikely to be realised.
Whether it is her father’s wish to leave the mountainous town of nowhere, or Qing Hong’s wish just to be left alone, none of these dreams will ever come true.
Shanghai is nothing more than a dream.
I wonder what will happen to my own dreams of Shanghai.
Will they be tossed out of the window, like a pair of red stilettos?
