第六代導演王小帥潛心兩年打造的首部驚悚片,把他關注小人物所能承載的需求、恐懼、迷茫、理想、慾望再升級。故事發生在貴陽市的退休老太太老鄧身上,神秘少年的出現猶如一把打破沉默的尖刀,血流滿地的房間勾起她40年前的回憶,無名屍體揪出她最深層的恐懼,秦昊、秦海璐、馮遠征、呂中的關係更是錯綜複雜,自我救贖揭開離奇真相,懸念迭起。今屆唯一一部入圍威尼斯影展競賽單元的華語片,HKAFF 2011焦點導演王小帥繼續獨立地表達普世的價值觀。
Widow Deng (Lü Zhong) is tormented by menacing anonymous phone calls, but her children think it’s all in her head. She feels increasingly alienated as the conflicts within her family grow, and the only person she can talk to is her recently departed husband. Suddenly, a mysterious boy appears in her life. More and more strange things begin to happen, awakening her memories of a past she’s buried for over 40 years. Sixth Generation vanguard Wang Xiaoshuai, Director in Focus of the 2011 HKAFF, returns to the fest with Red Amnesia, a disorienting suspense thriller that counters the collective amnesia of a contemporary China moving forward at breakneck speed.
