From a master of contemporary Chinese cinema comes this ambitious and deeply moving drama spanning three time periods in the life of Shen Tao and her two suitors; one offering love, the other financial security. The film begins on the cusp of the new millennium and ends in 2025, an attempt by the director to evoke a ‘collective history for that generation’.
Free for over-60s (booking by phone or in person only), otherwise normal matinee price.
