“It’s hard not to be swept up by the strong current of SUZHOU RIVER: a seductive and atmospheric conundrum that works pleasingly as an exercise in storytelling.” —Sight and Sound
Petty thief Marda (Jia Hongsheng) kidnaps Moudan (Zhou Xun) to demand a ransom from her rich father, but before he can get a return on his gamble, she escapes him by jumping into the Suzhou River. After his arrest, he meets a beguiling woman, MeiMei (also played by Zhou Xun), whose face resembles that of his victim and lost love. From director Lou Ye (SATURDAY FICTION) comes a torrent of love and obsession. Newly restored in 4K.
