2024-25 FOMA Film Series: Only the River Flows
This event is no longer on sale.
(China, 2023) Directed by Wei Shujun, 101 min., subtitled, not rated
In director Wei Shujun’s gritty film noir, chief of police Ma Zhe investigates a series of murders in a riverside town in rural China in the 1990s. An arrest is made quickly, but clues push the policeman to dive deeper, descend- ing into madness in pursuit of the truth. Reminiscent of Chinatown and Memories of a Murder, Only the River Flows is a masterfully styled ode to a bygone cinematic era.
