I Am Not Madame Bovary (2016)
A rare glimpse into the corruption and hypocrisy of Chinese society.
Summary:
Utilizing a unique circular format, the film showcases many aspects of the ridiculous regulations which inevitable lead to corruption within China. It's a wonder how this film was made and not censored as it is far too honest and explicitly revealing. Fan Bing Bing doesn't offer anything special, but is charismatic enough to hold our attention and anchor us in this foreign country.
