Tale
After being released from prison, Lang returns to his hometown in northwest China
Before the 2008 Olympics, he is attached to a black stray dog as a member of the dog patrol tasked with cleaning up stray dogs.
The two lonely souls embark on a new journey together
Eddie Peng [the lead actor] develops such a strong bond with Xin, the dog in the film, that he adopts him after filming is complete.
A beautiful, slow-burning and memorable story about the harsh environment of rural China, with strong performances, direction, writing and structure
By exploring the relationship between humans and dogs from a Chinese perspective, director Guang Hu achieves a realism, engagement and natural overview of the characters, complete with beautiful cinematography, sound design and interesting narrative choices.
The dialogue, sobering approach, art rhythm and style truly put the story in a whole new light
The performances from Eddie Peng and the rest of the cast are great and there are many characters, while some characters could have been explored a little more.
After winning the Un Certain Regard award, I understand why
I appreciate a film that explores dogs, humanism, and society without a preconceived idea and creates something unique.
