Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Harmen "Li Wen at East Lake" is a free-form work, hovering between feature film and documentary. Fact and fiction intermingle and improvisation plays an important role.The films follows the languid rhythm of the shores of iconic East Lake near the city of Wuhan and touches on themes of the development and transformation of the Chinese countryside, both socially and physically. The old - e.g. a local myth concerning a dragon in the lake and fishermen that are rendered obsolete - is contrasted with the new, e.g. an art protest against real estate development and changing attitudes among the younger generations towards sexual diversity. A subtle humor and overall light tone run through the film. The likable amateur actor Li Wen delivers a fine role. Interviews with locals only add to the documentary feel. Thanks to its striking form and tone, "Li Wen at East Lake" was one of the more memorable and refreshing films I saw at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
