“Bo Nan Za” is a subtly narrative film with a rather offbeat cinematic rhythm.
It is inspired by the enigmatic poetics and allegorical traditions of westerns on the one hand, and by the empathic spirit of observational filmmaking on the other.
Based on a dialogue-free script, this subversive and quietly surreal film explores the characters’ search for “meaning” and “fortune” beyond the confines of social hierarchies.
Synopsis:
A string of solitary figures grope their way through the sun-drenched wilderness. Misguided by hopes and driven by shadows, they silently fall into a creeping dependency.
Some of these spectral characters coexist in a “nowadays” world of different limits. Embarking on a day and night quest through the desolate streets, they end up caught in a bizarre procession of personal rituals.
Meanwhile, a dignified urban drifter explores and remaps the common roads of the sleeping city.
The highs and lows of urban life might ultimately be transcended.
A change of roles is about to come.
