Bi Gan’s film is a masterful exploration of sensory experience and time through innovative storytelling techniques. It uses a split narrative structure to delve into fragmented memories through dream-like logic and advanced cinematography. While the film offers a deep dive into regional identity and philosophical questions, it focuses narrowly on the individual's perspective without engaging with diverse identities. Its strength lies in its artistic complexity rather than its engagement with broader social issues or demographic diversity.
