Not much about the non-linear neo-noir plotting stood out to me, but I was blown away by the absolutely gorgeous lighting and cinematography. Like, holy shit. Every frame a painting type shit. Images I won’t forget.

o filme poderia ser maravilhoso
não achei ele pedante, tudo é bem conciso, mas exatamente por isso o filme me ganha
o retrato pintado é bem cru, mesmo que visualmente ele seja muito lindo!
a direção é competente, e é de uma sutilidade muito classuda (a maior parte do filme)
foi uma sequência isolada do terceiro ato que me chateou muito
foi de uma banalidade absurda que manchou a obra toda pra mim
me emputeceu de verdade

The Wild Goose Lake is a moody neon noir detective that is overfilled with stylish underworld for contemporary China. The plot was definitely inspired by Tarantino who liked the film as he stood clapping to it after the first screening. Cinematography is the standout element of this film. Every frame is saturated with lots of colors and the use of shadows, and reflections echoes the classic noir. However, the narrative is less concerned with tight pacing and more with the tone, sacrificing clarity for atmosphere. It is a strong entry for fans of international arthouse crime cinema, but most viewers will probably find it too abstract and emotionally distant as it focuses on the visuals rather than the plot.
77/100

I thought the first half was a lot better than the second half but this was still pretty enjoyable.
