Review of Getting Home (2007) by Cherisse F — 12 Aug 2010

I think this is one of the best chinese movie. In the same time, sad and humorous. Zhao Ben Shan plays very well the role of a farmer who has to face a lot of problems all along the way, dragging the body of his friend, dead in a construction site in Shenzhen, to his hometown, near the Three Gorges in Wuzhou, by all manners. He will face the thieves, the fake money given for the family of his dead friend, the contaminated-blood workshops, the solitude of the husband or the spouse far way from his partner, the hairdressing salon hidding the prostitution and the separation of families caused by the Three Gorges dam. ..

A big moment of emotion for this unforgettable movie!
