Manhunt in a police state. Very well-imagined with a strong sense of Langian paranoia, a rich textured underground world and good outbursts of violence. With every film Diao Yinan gets better into using pulp to comment on current China.
Filipe FurtadoMay 18, 2019An invigorating, poetic, and discretely brilliant Chinese noir that adds up to less than the sum of its parts, Diao Yinan’s “The Wild Goose Lake” can’t help but feel like a mild comedown from the director’s Berlinale-winning 2014, “Black Coal, Thin Ice.” To some degree,…

Doug DillamanWell, from time to time, I encounter a movie that checks two boxes on one. On one hand, it shows the beauty that is finding out an amazing movie going in blind. And second of all, it goes to proof why sometimes, adding to your watch list weird films from people in this page…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineJan 18, 2024A damn fine neo-noir/crime drama/romantic tragedy from Chinese director Diao Yinan. I really dug Diao's Black Coal, Thin Ice, and The Wild Goose Lake is about on par with that movie for me. The thing I like most about his movies so far (besides the way they look) is that…
Lou (rhymes with wow!)
