Bends

With an unremarkable narrative based on an issue created by the Chinese social system, Bends is about a Chinese man and his wife trying to give birth to their second child in Hong Kong, beyond the boundaries of Shenzen. However, the film’s more memorable character is the rich Hong Kong woman who tries to help them while addressing her own existential situation. [Australian Cinémathéque, Brisbane] (06.03.2019)
