Marked as the Best Feature Film and the Best New Performer at the 53rd Golden Horse Award 2016, don’t miss “The Summer is Gone” at Cinematheque-Passion.
Strongly influenced by “The 400 Blows”, first-time director Zhang Dalei offers a beautifully-shot, black and white drama, unfolding his semi-autobiographical reminiscence of childhood and his melancholic ode about the end of an era. Set in the early 1990s, a 12-year-old boy spends his summer vacation in an Inner Mongolia town, where his father, a worker in a state-owned film studio, is about to be laid off because of privatization. Nostalgic and delicate emotions elegantly infuse careful compositions with naturalism.
