something melancholy that roots its dreamy but ultimately deathly and timely discussion in a little modern chinese town.
i think its sense of wandering around is cool and it opens up great scenery. it does make me irritated tho how much narration is used, driving its message home so much and honestly, it would've been better if there was less. a debute but a good one nonetheless.
