press release

In the film Mo sheng tian tang (An Estranged Paradise), 1997-2002, at the beginning of the rainy season a young man complains of a general malaise and, worried, tries to determine its origin. Numerous consultations with doctors at the local hospital fail to yield any answers. His behavior leads to the deduction that in reality he is suffering from paralyzing boredom, a condition that alienates him and prevents him from entering into a true relationship with daily existence. His inaction contrasts with the fleeting vision of another man, perhaps mentally unstable, who flails and shrieks and seems to react to life with rage.
