How long is a Chinese movie? In any case, the Chinese films that have been released in the Netherlands recently are such as Da Xiang Xi di er Zuo (2018) - MovieMeter.nl[/url ] (230 minutes), [url=https://www.moviemeter.nl/film/1117853]Di Qiu Zui Hou De Ye Wan (2018) - MovieMeter.nl (140 minutes) and now Di Jiu Tian Chang (185 minutes), extremely long. That doesn't always have to be a problem, but it was for me with this film...

You fear the worst in advance – a Chinese arthouse film of 185 minutes – and unfortunately my fears came true: the film is very slow and very boring and then 185 minutes are very, very long. The story of the film is very simple but is told in a very confusing way to make it seem complicated, partly due to the back and forth in time and the failure to make the family relationships clear, so that you spend the 185 minutes - partly because of the boredom - mainly fills with solving the story presented as a puzzle. However, this confusion does not make the film more exciting, but only more annoying. There are a few moving moments towards the end - the only moments when the film becomes equally interesting - but that does not outweigh the tedium that the rest of the film offers. The scenes in themselves are also not very interesting. The strength of the film is undoubtedly that it very realistically depicts the China of the 1980s and the impact of the one-child policy of that time, which made the film interesting but - again - does not nearly justify the 185 minutes.

Did I mention that the film is a whopping 185 minutes and very boring?

"It's time for China to look back too," says director Wang somewhere in an interview and seeing his brilliant film proves him right. While the city has demolished all the old buildings, Wang spares one old residential barracks in his film in which the past has been preserved: the Cultural Revolution, the one-child policy and the memories of the time when Yaojun and Liyun's only child was still alive . The memory of the country and of the individual come together in that one building that has survived the past. Beautiful.

The film covers more than thirty years, but could also have lasted just one day, so razor-thin are the boundaries between past, present and future in Wang's vision. One of the central themes in the film is 'guilt', which always has its source in the past, its fearful repercussions in the present and which casts its shadow on the future. This applies to each of us as well as to a country (China in this case). Wang delicately weaves the past, present and future of two couples through the history of China with its communist party ideology to which everything and everyone is subordinate.

Certainly, in the beginning of the film it is difficult to follow who is who and at what moment in time we are, but Wang's calm, subdued approach gives us plenty of time to get used to the people and the different time layers in the film. town and in the fishing village where Yaojun and Liyun retreated after the loss of their child.

Thirty years of Chinese history, two couples in their work, their home, the Party and with family and acquaintances, brought together in a moving way in more than three hours. Then you deserve a place of honor in film history.

The story of two couples, direct relatives of each other, whose lives are marked as much by a tragic accident as by the political and socio-cultural changes in their homeland China. The adults were born in the era of Mao and, to their great sorrow, have to comply with a law that allows only one child per family.

Xiaoshuai Wang's masterful direction is palpable in the meticulously thought out camera angles, the excellent acting and the use of those alternately uncomfortable and soothing silences that characterize human life. These silences test your patience, but they are a key element in a film in which silence - and the culture of silence that typifies 'old' China - has a major influence on the lives of the main characters. Xiaoshuai Wang tells the story non-chronologically, allowing the deeper layers behind the family history and the associated emotions to gradually unfold over a period of more than 30 years, starting in the 1980s. The make-up is completely convincing, but that is precisely why you have to regularly look carefully at who is who, especially in the beginning, but anyone who can be patient and stay focused will certainly be carried away by the nuanced game and with a leaving the cinema with a big lump in my throat.
