the first trailer of the movie "nujiang" shows lao hu searching for the truth behind his daughter's death.
in the trailer, lao hu (played by wang yanhui) rushed back to his hometown to find out the truth after learning that his daughter had committed suicide by falling off a cliff. however, when he found ji hong (played by deng enxi), a girl who had a feud with his daughter, he discovered a more secret and cruel crime. the young girl was forced to be involved in the vortex of border crime. as the dialogue says, "there are too many girls who come here to play, and nine out of ten can't go back." many local women fell into shocking criminal traps and lived in foreign lands, with unpredictable fates. lao hu and ji hong fled to the border. under the dense vegetation in the nujiang river basin, how many unknown secret pains and violent crimes are hidden? how will women fight against the "law of the jungle" and change their fate?
following the father lao hu's footsteps in his search for the truth, the film re-examines the meaning of life and family through this self-redemption of the father-daughter relationship, and thus shows the stories of three women, looking into the past, present and future of women. from the preview, it can be seen that ji hong, played by deng enxi, uncovers the scars of the past, flees with lao hu, learns the lisu people's "climbing the knife mountain" stunt, and tries to change and control her own destiny. in the view of director liu juan, in the turbulent social wave, personal destiny is the rivers and lakes, and chivalry has long been injected into daily life, and how to fight violence is the "heroic moment" of ordinary women.
the preview poster focuses on the plight of the little people on the border and the power of mutual redemption.
the movie "nujiang" is liu juan's second feature film, written and directed by herself. as a female creator, liu juan completed her doctoral research in the field of women's art at columbia university in new york from 2018 to 2020. her thoughts on the plight and future of women's fate are also rooted in the film. liu juan has been engaged in teaching in the nujiang river basin in yunnan, and has come into contact with hundreds of left-behind families. she found that "facing violence and dealing with violence" is an unavoidable experience for women in these families to grow up, and the attitude of adolescent girls towards violence has a great impact on her life. therefore, liu juan wrote the script of "nujiang" based on this experience, incorporating the author's thinking on the basis of reality, and fully mobilizing the spatial environment of the nujiang river basin, such as mountains, forests, and raging waves, making it a language that participates in the narrative, leading the audience to focus on the interaction between the external environment and the inner world of the characters, and witnessing their final awakening in the crisis-ridden nature.
