Buddha Mountain

Streaming video - 2010

Director's CutThree youngsters lost in the countryside wait at a railway station called “Buddha Mountain” for a train without knowing if any will ever come. Alienated by society and their families, they move together into the home of a retired Peking opera performer. The carefree tenants and rigid landlady expose not only their conflicting lifestyles but also everyone’s painful past. This reunion of China’s prominent female filmmaker Li Yu and the iconic star Fan Bingbing after 'Lost in Beijing' is graced by Taiwan’s cinematic treasure Sylvia Chang. With an exuberant and haunting story, she inquires how individuals reconstruct their inner selves facing impermanence in all forms.
