This 2015 documentary takes a unique lens on two of China's most vibrant cities, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The film captures the bustling street life, juxtaposing modernity with traditional culture, creating a rich tapestry of daily life. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere of each locale, which is both frenetic and serene at different moments. While the director remains unknown, the choice of visuals feels intimate, almost as if you're wandering the streets yourself. There's a distinct lack of narration, which lets the city sounds and sights speak for themselves.
