About This Movie

So, 'Per Song' is this intriguing documentary that takes you into the lives of young drifters in Chongqing, China. The atmosphere is raw and gritty, capturing the essence of urban wandering. You really get a sense of their struggles and aspirations, as the pacing shifts between moments of stillness and the hustle of city life. There's a palpable authenticity in how these kids navigate their world, and the cinematography just adds to it with its almost voyeuristic feel. It’s not flashy or overproduced, which makes the practical effects—like their surroundings—feel more engaging. The performances, if you can call them that, are just real, unfiltered glimpses into their lives. It’s distinctive for its unvarnished take on youth and survival.
