Review of Summer Palace (2006) by Marina N — 14 Jun 2012
A nice movie about a girl trying to find herself. Yu Hong leaves the province for Beijing to study and find her own way. She finds herself lost in the turbulence of the political events and her own not less worrying emotions.
As the time goes on, she looks for happiness and has to give up her idealistic beliefs about love and life. Yet, when she seems to have found what she looked, she can't accept. A quite interesting coming-of-age movie that is not for the light-hearted because it does everything but give optimism.
It has its flaws but does exceptionally well at making you feel with the lead character.
