Li Wen at East Lake, Li Wen man you Dong Hu, 李 文 漫游 东湖 (2015) dir. Luo Li
An investigation of the construction and commercial developments which are literally devouring the largest urban lake in China takes an intriguing turn when the cynical investigator Li Wen, who has a passion for old photos of the Cultural Revolution, has to investigate a lunatic who is sowing fear with his sudden raids on the shores of the lake. Li Wen at East Lake plunges us into China s political and social landscape, drawing a gloomy but also funny, unexpected and surprising portrait.
