Golfville

About This Movie

Golfville drapes itself in a curious atmosphere—it's not just about golf, but the haunting landscapes captured through Zou Qiao's lens. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to linger on the awkward tension between characters, especially as Zou navigates his infatuation with the hotel owner's daughter. The film is layered with themes of obsession and the unpredictability of life, underlined by the unfolding murder mystery that feels almost secondary to the visual poetry. The performances have this raw edge, especially as Zou grapples with his role in the chaos around him. You get this sense that the golf course is more than just a backdrop; it looms large, almost like a character itself, as the story unwinds. Quite distinct from other dramas you might have seen.
