Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jia Ling filmed this and her previous hit 'Hi, Mom' back-to-back while secretly dealing with her mother's actual death. The woman doesn't know how to make unpersonal art.
This is a mainland Chinese remake of '100 Yen Love,' but the gender commentary hits different in a country where 'leftover women' discourse still dominates.
