A slight yet profound exploration of generational choices and our fear of living our parents' lives.
Sweet and fiercely humane, Song's layered family portrait is decidedly Buddhist: silent when it needs to be and steadfast about approaching inevitable tragedy with care and patience.
Death hangs over Song Fang's first feature, Memories Look at Me, but it's neither with grimness nor overt tragedy.
Watching Memories's like listening to the secrets of this family's history.
Memories Look at Me is an unusually personal portrait of family life in China.
Audience Reviews for Memories Look at Me
I repeatedly came back to the thought that this would be an excellent movie for students learning Mandarin to watch. The actors speak clearly and at a reasonable rate discussing many everyday things. The movie is not quite as mundane as that may make it sound; but it's close. I'll recommend it to my daughter, though, when she reaches her third year or so studying Mandarin.
