76. Spring in a small town (1948)


Country: China
Directed by Fei Mu

Voted as the best Chinese movie ever made 'Spring in a small town' will not make you disappointed. Even 65 years after was released is still very powerful and modern. It captures a delicate melancholy about the promises of youth that never kept, the dreams of people that ruined and portrays the unspoken human feelings , the battle between the need for personal happiness and duty, the complex human relationships. Nothing special happens in the film but still you feel tension from beginning to the end: As the sacrificed wife walks in the dessert city walls in a semi dreamy state , the film evokes weird feelings to each of the viewers: the human existence is fragile , the past often painful and the time of memory absurd
