The 34th Tokyo International Film Festival was successfully held from October 30 to November 8, and the epidemic has also been difficult to stop the enthusiasm of movie fans. Among them, the Chinese film "Stranger" directed by Dafei was shortlisted for the Asian Future Competition section of the 34th Tokyo International Film Festival and premiered in Tokyo, Japan on November 1.
"Stranger" received a positive response from the audience in two screenings at the festival on November 1 and November 6, receiving praise such as "masterpiece without regrets" and "different warmth".
The film tells the story of a lost uncle Lao Jia and a young girl Xiao Qi, who meet in a small town in the north, and the two come to a foreign country to become neighbors because of their different life circumstances.
One is a cold uncle with a kind heart but a hatred, and the other is a single-parent girl who is cheerful on the outside but very lonely on the inside, from the neighbor who began with a grudge to the friendship that seems to be more than family.
The film is full of kindness and warmth for ordinary people, conveying warmth and touching. Those "lights" hidden in the hearts of the characters, judging from the feedback from the audience, it is seen.
Director Da Fei
From the brothers who depend on each other in "Residual Fragrance without a Trace", to the old Jia who lost his son in "Stranger", and Xiao Qi, who has never had fatherly love, in Dafei's movie, the protagonist's family is always crippled. However, Da Fei insists on carefully observing and depicting the cruel reality from the perspective of the warmth of the heart, which also makes his works, even the characters at the edge and the bottom of the bottom, the background color also flashes with flickering light and dim light.
In Da Fei's works, the convergence of various unfortunate characters at the bottom of society has never given up the strength to find an exit, and the courage to believe in "others" again.
The original intention of "Stranger" was to touch some sensitive things in the current era, such as the distance between people's hearts.
"Our generation is a witness and witness to the Internet age. In just over a decade, the Internet has completely rewritten the way people live. Mr. Mu Xin said that the era when the carriages and horses were very slow, the letters were far away, and there was only enough to love one person in a lifetime, has gone away. "The world is fast, everyone is wrapped up in the move forward, can't stop at all. And how can human love, this eternal desire emotion, be nourished and placed in such an era? This is Da Fei's thinking, and it is also the proposition that his film focuses on.
The movie "Stranger" is produced by Shenzhen Moon Film Co., Ltd., co-produced by Zhaogang Film and Television Media (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., produced by Lin Dibang, co-producer Yan Haoyang, and chief producer Chen Shufeng. The film is directed by Da Fei, produced by Mei Feng, produced by Bai Xiaobai, and starring Luo Sang Qunpei, Zhang Zimu and Liu Lu. I hope that such a healing film can meet the audience as soon as possible.
