Great movie where exactly one thing happens. A combination of being very well-rested and unstressed meant I was in the mood for glacial emotional drama and empathetic depictions of those failed by social development. Loved this, not as major as A Touch of Sin but a modern tryptich of promises, alienation, and loneliness, of constant gigs and extended hiatuses, and how unfairly we can love people as a consequence. If a Jia Zhang-ke protagonist has less lines than the archive news broadcasts, you're in for a treat.
