Cai Shangjun Province of Venice Movie ‘The sun rises to all of us “

The winner of the silver lion Cai Shangjun is back to Venice Film Festival with the name of the competition “The sun rises to all of us“Casted drama on guilt, accuracy and elusive possibility of forgiveness.

Xin Zhilei movie stars (“Blossoms Shanghai”) like Meiyun, whose life is enrolled when Zhang Songven (“Pioneer”) as Baoshu, a former lover who once went to jail for the crimes she committed. Feng Shaofeng (“Wolf Totem”) Co-Stars as Kifeeng.

CAI, which in 2011, won the best prize of the director of Venice for the “mountain sea sea”, “describes the journey by film that interrupted the pandemic.” 2017 I made a movie called “Conformist”, “He says Variety. “After That Film, I was involved in preparing for a new movie. After 2019 The Pandemic Hit, the CLIMATE for Making Films in China Was Quite Pessimistic at the time. From 2019 to 2022, During Those Three Years China Was in Lockdown, There Was A Relatively Closed Climate for Making Films. It Wasn’t Clear at The Time Wheather It Relatively Arthouse Film. But Luckily, After Cvid There Was Some Space For Independent Thinking. Then my wife has worked together. My wife (Han Nianjin) wrote the scenario. ”

He sees a great change from his earlier films. “People Mountain mountain Mor” and “conformist”, I may have more focused on less prominent characters in society, those who are facing wrongs, and their fight against that wrongdoing, “he could call it perhaps more kind of social criticism. In “conformist”, I describe the average person in that era following Mainstream, and I guess the decline in human nature, and quite, social changes that happened in China than the change. Was there also before counseling. If it’s too bedded. If we look at him and change. If we change. If we change my perspectives too. Is the spiritual life of the Chinese people and more fighting that occur internally. ”

On the new film’s Focus, Cai Says: “This film, We decided to focus on the theme of the morality. It talks about themes such as sacrifice, but also giving back and what you get in return for that sacrifici. But it’s also Talking about Benevolence or Kindness to the Other person. But that also includes an element of hatred in it as well. There are layers to this. “

Cai worked with South Korean Cinematography Kim Hiunseok and French editor Matthie Laclau, together with Tsai Iann-Shan, shapes a film. “I didn’t want the cinematography to be excessively stylish. I wanted to follow the emotional logic of the characters in the film,” he explains. “To focus on the emotional character experience, for example, breathing characters. We also don’t want it to focus on the aesthetics. If the audience, when watching the film, forget the director and cinematograph, it is probably what we try to achieve.”

On editing, heys: “collaborating with matthieu on this film, I have to say that it’s probably the most pleasant experience that I’ve had so far. Every two days so would update samples of the edit and when i saw these, i felt the Sequence HE Had Chosen Was Very Much In Line With My Thinking. We Edited Around 47 Versions of the Film. We are Both Very Open Minded and Receptive to Each Other’s Ideas. “

Looking forward, Cai already thinks about his next movie. “It will probably focus on the male in China, a small town between the village and the city, which is likely to be placed during the spring festival, the Chinese New Year. It will be the story of love for love – a specific search of love – a concrete wife search.”
