Review of Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl (1998) by Private U — 12 Apr 2008
A captivating and terrible film, ostensibly a love story but much deeper and much, much darker. 'Xiu-Xiu' tells the story of a young girl who is slowly destroyed by a multitude of factors while her companion watches helplessly.
This movie, more than any other, tells a story of true love, separate from romance, and, as such, is at once a terrible story of humankind's inhumanity to humankind and of humankind's limitless capacity for love and compassion.
