Sky Lover

Adapted from "Life without language", the novelette winning the 1st Lu Xun Literature Award written by Dong Xi, this is a flimsy Chinese tale in which a deaf man finds his life turned upside down when a pretty mute girl wanders into the remote mountain village. The film is earnest in its approach and undeniable beautiful shots, but all Qinmin ultimately gives us is a love story with no fire, a drama with no conflict, and ultimately a film with no purpose...

original title 天上的恋人
