Xianshi shi guoqu de weilai (Disorder)2009. China. Directed by Huang Weikai. Assembling footage from a dozen amateur videographers, Huang Weikai presents a unique anti-city symphony of urban dysfunction that is alternately hilarious and horrifying. Pigs racing down a busy highway, government VIPs swimming in a polluted river, a hit-and-run victim being bribed to leave the scene, and an abandoned baby gawked at by passersby are all stranger-than-fiction visions that could never be aired on Chinese state television. These images represent both an alternative media culture of amateur videographers and viral video netizens, and the chaos seething through the cracks of a society in rapid transformation. Courtesy of dGenerate/Icarus. In Mandarin, Cantonese; English subtitles. 58 min.Wednesday, May 22, 2013, 4:00 p.m., Theater 2, T2Monday, May 27, 2013, 4:00 p.m., Theater 2, T2

What's it like trying to watch The Mother and the Whore?
Would like to know before sacrificing my Sunday.
― Josefa, Friday, 10 May 2013 15:58 (ten years ago) link
Thought it was incredible the first time I saw it, was completely mesmerized by it and really bought it into it as the summation and end of La Nouvelle Vague. Next time I saw it was kind of bored. No doubt if I ever get the opportunity and the chunk of time to see it again I will be mesmerized again. I like all his other films.

I have seen the similarly titled Warnung vor einer heiligen Nutte by another, more prolific, European director many times and was only bored the first one.

He didn't think much of Rossellini, apparently.
This film is the parent of both Certified Copy and Eyes Wide Shut, I think.
― ballin' from Maine to Mexico (Dr Morbius), Friday, 17 May 2013 02:19 (ten years ago) link
Still have to see Certified Copy.
Thought the penultimate scene was going to be the ending, when they are walking across the ruins saying "Life is short." Was getting some kind of vibe similar to the end of The Third Man.
