Spring Tide (Chun Chao)

Review preview for Spring Tide

An interesting contribution to an increasing focus, in Chinese film, on women's lives lived outside traditional frameworks and without traditionally assumed comforts.

(Country: China; Year: 2019; Director: Yang Tian-yi; Writer: Yang Tian-yi; Stars: Hao Lei, Jin Elaine, Qu Junxi)
