- Synopsis:
Winner of the 'Best International Film' award at the 2012 Edinburgh Film Festival, this astonishing debut feature is an enigmatic portrait of the alienation and disillusionment widespread amongst young people in contemporary China. Filmed in elegant long takes, "Here, Then" interweaves the lives of a cast of rootless characters linked by chance encounters, by their sexual obsessions, and by the loss of a mobile phone. Mao's thoughtful and alluring film is characterised by careful pacing, stunning cinematography and a stand-out central performance from actress Huang Tang Yijia. Its subtly-developing narrative powerfully conveys the longing for escape from ordinary life, to another here, another then. - Actors:
