🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs the film on the contrast between imperial opulence and the characters' inner desolation. It relies on fluid, hypnotic animation to explore obsession and bitter jealousy, using visual metaphor over dialogue.
What lingers after the viewing is a sense of fragile emotions crushed by absolute power, where every lush frame underscores profound human suffering. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Hefang Wei
