About This Movie
Opening Closing Forgetting is a raw look at trauma and the human experience. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, as it wanders through the lives of elderly Chinese peasants, each with their own haunting stories of open wounds that refuse to heal. There's a starkness to the visuals that pulls you in, making the viewer confront the harsh realities these individuals face. It's not just about the physical scars; it's about memory and the weight of history on the psyche. The documentary's atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and sorrow, yet there's a resilient spirit that comes through in the survivors’ testimonies. It plays like a quiet elegy, balancing the grittiness with moments of profound grace. Definitely one of those films that lingers in your mind long after it ends.
