I watched Incantation on Netflix. Just the sort of horror I like! It’s like Blair Witch x Hereditary set in China. #movies #horror #chinesefilm #netflix

So just back from seeing this at the annual silent movie festival in Bo’ness - Loving blood of the volcano (1932) dir Sun Yu. A story of good defeats evil set in warlord era China. Interesting to see the tropes of the rich and powerful riding roughshod over the weak, hostage taking, violence, threats, vengeance against oppressors, pretty timeless. Live music by Stephen Horne was fantastic.

I was sorry to learn of the death of director #HePing last month. I’ve treated myself to a rewatch of his memorable #Wuxia meets #Western film #WarriorsOfHeavenAndEarth in tribute. (It’s pictured here with some of the other #movies in my “films by or with #JiangWen” collection.) #Cinema #Film #WorldCinema #ChineseCinema #ChineseFilm

One more gif from The New Woman. Dr. Wang is going to learn very quickly why you shouldn't poke Ah-Ying with a cane.

@elaterite WOW. I could not love this more. The colors and composition are just mesmerizing.

Now I'm also thinking of the Gong Li film, Raise the Red Lantern. An absolute favorite of mine.

//Edited because the link I originally provided had a really awful logo at the very beginning which I missed when I was hunting for it to share here. Here is the official trailer link from IMdB
