Watermarks - Three Letters from China

About This Movie

Watermarks - Three Letters from China is quite the eye-opener, you know? It's this documentary that, well, traverses through three contrasting locales in China. You've got Yangshuo, where the natural beauty almost deceives you, then there's Wuhai, a gritty coal mining area that feels almost post-apocalyptic. And then, Chongqing, with its vast urban sprawl. The film has this somber tone, a slow pacing that lets you really soak in the atmosphere. The way it captures the lives of the people affected by modernization is striking, too. The visuals are raw and real, almost like you're peeking into lives you shouldn't be, making it distinct in its approach.
