LOVERS
A film by Carl Zhang, Australia/China, 2008, 115 min.
Original version with Portuguese subtitles.
Qiu Sen pursues and takes pictures of couples in the streets of Shanghai, China. Jeremy Smith, a photographer who has just arrived to the country, prepares the opening of an exhibit at a local gallery. By chance Jeremy and Qiu Sen run into each other in the gallery and their eyes meet. Following the couple along the lovely roads of modern Shanghai, with little dialogue and much music, it brings the love that meets itself and loses itself; the pain of mistakes made in the past that never goes away.
