Fourth Wal Discussion

Cutting edge theater meets science fiction in Zhang Chong and Zhang Bo's story about a Chinese couple who find they have pairs in a parallel universe.
Going after for a modern blend of types in The Fourth Wall (Di Si Mian Qiang), co-chiefs Zhang Chong (on his second coordinating stretch) and Zhang Bo (on his first) portray two unremarkable, injured characters and afterward dispatch them into a parallel universe. It's the sort of idea that is going to interest youthful spectators more than the refined venue group to whom the title The Fourth Wall bows. After its debut in Shanghai's New Asian Talents area, the film is contending in Xining's FIRST International Film Festival.



Chong, a TV maker and screenwriter, has effectively coordinated a higher profile film this year called Super Me, additionally being sold by Fortissimo Films. Super Me is greater spending activity dream apparently went for hero fans, which illuminates the deduction behind The Fourth Wall. The title alludes to the showy show that places an undetectable divider isolating the group of spectators from the on-screen characters in front of an audience, however the film's feelings are increasingly attached to the science fiction string that goes through the story.

Prior to achieving the zone, be that as it may, we meet Liu Lu (played by the entertainer of a similar name, which includes another element of unpredictability.) Liu, who has represented Jia Zhangke in Mountains May Depart and A Touch of Sin, begins off as an enemy of social deer herder on a major homestead in the mountains. The authenticity of the opening half hour persuades this will be the bluntly reasonable representation of a quelled young lady with a feeling of inadequacy.

Deglammed to say the least, Liu Lu is found in the masculine attire of a homestead hand whose activity is bolstering a few hundred deer with grain and corn and chasing after them on their wanderings. On this specific day, a little deer gets lost and she winds up persuaded it has snuck past a torn wire fence, which is all wantonly emblematic. She admits she has lost a deer to the old-clock who directs the ranch yet he advises her to chill. It's Chinese New Years and he gives her a reward and a container of alcohol to praise, in solitude, in her remote station. Whoopee.

Her long night watching firecrackers on TV is hindered by the entry of the awesome Ma Hai (Wang Ziyi of Mountain Cry), who repulsively blasts his way into her enclave for somewhat fun, yet as the scene wears on he demonstrates his genuine nature as a rebuked darling. His brushed back hair and cowhide coat cool are a serious difference to her no-cosmetics logger look, also an uproarious half-moon scar she sports on one cheek.

They help themselves to remember their back-story: While the two were going to center school, Liu Lu was assaulted by menaces and Ma Hai jumped into assistance her, yet in the process he cut her with a blade and gave her the scar that has made her an enemy of social hermit.

Enter the dream component. Mama Hai admits he knows "another" Liu Lu who he connects with normally in a parallel universe. She's an unscarred divorced person and a disappointed previous on-screen character whose post-center school dreams didn't get her extremely far. In this rendition of the real world, Ma Hai executed one of her aggressors in those days and has spent an amazing remainder escaping the police and killing aimlessly. He stands up to her, with a weapon, on a surrendered venue arrange, while the first couple mystically checks out their show.

This isn't the Spider-stanza or the quantum domain, however there are some decent minutes. The endeavors of the first Liu Lu and Ma Hai to contact their duplicates sets off a progression of riddles and ambiguities. Additionally, the screenwriters make a valiant wound at presenting to everything back to the characters' have to defeat the mental "fourth divider" that keeps them away from confronting their feared recollections of the past and fears for what's to come.

The two D.P.s Zhao Longlong and Saba Mazloum make an assortment of environments, right from dingy homestead work to magical African fogs when the activity movements to Madagascar. Disregarding a camera that is by all accounts continually moving, however, the entertainers get a handle on hindered on a phase and the general impact is quite static. Han Xiaoling's smooth altering helps in think about what's happening.
