An Unfinished Film (12A)

★★★★★ Lou Ye’s moving and mysterious docu-realist film about China’s Covid crisis starts as a sophisticated comedy, morphs from looking like a zombie apocalypse to an intimate drama, and evolves into a tribute to how a nation handled trauma. ~ The Guardian.

Director Xiaorui convinces his cast and crew to resume the shooting of a film halted ten years earlier. In January 2020, with the shoot almost complete, rumours regarding an illness begin to circulate and the director must decide whether to halt the filming once again.

Some of the crew and actors manage to leave before the hotel is locked down by security guards and everyone left on set is confined to their rooms. As all communication is reduced to phone screens, Wuhan is locked down. The crew continues to communicate via video calls, whilst the quarantined main actor Jiang Cheng struggles to support his wife who is now locked-down with their month-old baby in Beijing.
