So, 'Mirror, Flowers and Moonlight: Six Tears of Xi Shi' from '87—what a curious piece. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating at times, with a blend of horror and an ethereal quality that makes it hard to pin down. It seems to play with themes of beauty and loss, all while weaving in traditional folklore elements. The pacing has this slow burn that really draws you in, letting the unsettling visuals seep into your mind. Practical effects are decent for the time, lending a gritty authenticity that you just don’t see in today’s CGI-heavy landscape. Performances feel a bit offbeat, which kind of adds to the charm. It’s one of those films that leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
