Springtime in a Small Town

REVIEW: SPRINGTIME IN A SMALL TOWN (Palm Pictures) Directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang

An old friend blows into a provincial Chinese town and awakens longing and happiness in a long-married couple. Its Chekhovian premise and breathtaking cinematography fill the screen with a suppressed, aching beauty, but its sedated story line and stiff acting prevent the film from ever really coming to life.
