Longing for the Rain

Chunmeng | 春夢

Synopsis

Fang Lei, a Beijing housewife, is leading a peaceful and affluent life with her husband and daughter. Life goes by until one day a young lover appears in her dreams. Soon Fang Lei is no longer able to separate reality from dream and this shadow slowly becomes the lover she can’t live without.

MUBI's take

Based on a true story, this lo-fi reverie includes documentary elements to speak of the profound existential dissatisfaction of China’s well-to-do. Carnal pleasure compensates for a lack of meaning in this social critique which portrays female sexuality in ways that have rarely been seen on screen.
