Blind Mountain

Blind Mountain (2008)

Ahh the last of the film festival shows. I only managed to get to seven this year, but we heard of a friends friend who managed twenty one. Blind mountain is set in China in the early 90's where Bai who is a young college educated city girl is lured on the promise of work, to a remote mountain village. Drugged she then wakes up to find that she is married to a poor farmer and left with him and his parents, and no chance of escape.

What a bleak life for this young woman who longs to return to her own family. My friends and I decided that life in our comfy houses, with stable jobs maybe wasn't too bad after seeing this movie. Also three changes of clothes would be difficult for us to live with, and oh my goodness the soundtrack sucked. Don't go if you need a movie to cheer you up, this can only bring you down 1.5/5
