Can I half-watch A Film?
Easy watchDemanding
No, it needs your attention: the title analysis rates it 10 of 10 for meta narrative and 9 for ambiguity.
Story
The film was shot in 2003 during the SARS period. Completed by one shot, including opening and closing credits. Unlike other long-take films, the technical content of this film is close to zero. As a "drama film" performed by actors, the emptiness of its plot is unprecedented. One of the two leads even fell asleep during the performance. Every ten years, I would seriously remake this absolutely incompetent film. So, this is both my first "movie" and will be my last "movie".
