About This Movie

UUFO is quite the peculiar find. This 2018 anthology presents six fragmented stories that dance around collective memories, especially in the context of China's tumultuous history since the 60s. The tone is introspective, often drifting into surreal territory as it juxtaposes nostalgic tales with modern-day interpretations. The pacing can feel uneven, perhaps reflecting the erratic nature of memory itself. The practical effects used here lend a tangible quality that enhances the atmospheric feel, grounding the ethereal themes in something almost tactile. There’s a haunting quality to the performances—nuanced, understated. It’s distinctive in how it tries to bridge generational gaps through the lens of the fantastic, making for a thought-provoking experience, if you’re in the right mood for it.
