A sweeping journey across Asia, blending fiction and documentary, past and present, from masterful director Miguel Gomes.
Masterful director Miguel Gomes Gomes (Tabu, Arabian Nights) returns with a sweeping journey across Asia. On the eve of his wedding in 1917, colonial officer Edward impulsively flees his station in Rangoon, with his fiancé Molly in hot pursuit. What follows is a kaleidoscopic series of strange encounters, as the film blends fiction and documentary, past and present, and colour and stately monochrome. By turns whimsical, melancholic, and playfully exploratory, Gomes presents us with multiple perspectives, ruminating on the folly of the colonial project, while pushing the boundaries of cinematic storytelling in this strikingly original film which won the Best Director prize at Cannes this year.
