In this radical character study, her “best made-in-China film yet” (Tony Rayns), Ann Hui keeps a fine balance between absurdity, raunchy humor and melancholia. First presented as a harmless “auntie” lost in the shuffle and bustle of Shanghai modernity, Ye Rutang has a convention-breaking affair, experiences tragic-comic misadventures, while her true identity as a bad mother, and, ultimately, an orphan of Chinese history slowly emerges.
