Aro Recommended Blind Mountain

 

China 2007, 95 minutes
Dir. Yang Li
In Mandarin with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama

Feat. Huang Lu

 

Aroview: A superbly executed kidnapping drama that’s also surprisingly achieved given its critical portrait of Chinese society, this concerns the heinous rural practice of abducting young women and forcing them to be the wives of men in remote provinces.

Centred on a career-aspiring woman conned into visiting a mountain village, then drugged and sold to an unseemly farmer, the film successfully balances sobering dramatic insights into the plight of the kidnapped and the naivety of her surroundings, with an almost unbearable, simmering tension built around her resilience and will to escape.
