About This Movie

Savage is a thought-provoking drama that emerged from the Beijing People's Art Theater, penned by Gao Xingjian and brought to life by director Lin Zhaohua. This piece is intriguing for its exploratory nature, delving into complex themes that challenge conventional storytelling. The pacing is deliberate, reflecting the introspective essence of the narrative, which meanders through philosophical inquiries and human emotions. Performances are nuanced, capturing a raw intensity that resonates throughout. The interplay of form and content is distinctive; it’s not merely a stage production, but rather an experience that lingers. It's fascinating to see how it navigates the boundaries of drama in a cultural context that was, at the time, quite restrictive.
