Review of Still Life

Still Life (2006)
6/10
Interesting but not riveting.
24 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Two story lines with similarities that end differently. Each story concerns a man and a woman who are looking for their estranged partner in an area of China that is being demolished and is due to be flooded as part of a dam building program. Clearly change is inevitable but what will the outcomes be. One couple haven't seen each other for 2 years and decide to divorce. The other couple have previously divorced but decide to remarry.

A realist film with occasionally surreal moments. The drama unfolds slowly with lingering shots of the everyday events from that region of China.

Interesting but not riveting.
