The village chief takes advantage of this unexpected event to boost the UFO in Her Eyes local economy—to stimulate tourism, get government support, and even make contact with the USA. Under a scrutinizing police eye, a collective portrait unfolds Guo Xiaolu is a novelist, UFO in Her Eyes, screenwriter and filmmaker. Falling to the earth, returning to the sky—the inspiration for UFO In Her Eyes comes from two worlds: my personal experience and an intellectual bricolage. The landscapes that surrounded the rural village where I grew up in South China lacked any civilized character. So did the cruel, unimaginable daily life that every peasant faced as they struggled to survive. I remember from my childhood the old people in the village, full of bitterness and dark habits. For me, the old peasants UFO in Her Eyes always the most fascinating people because they had lived through it all. Most of them had grown up with memories of imperial-era slavery, yet now they found the kids around them drinking Coca Cola and playing with iPods. The old ones had not been able to adjust to the new demands of capitalism; they were living the rest of their lives in sorrow and anger. The young ones in the village were confused by the anger of their elders, UFO in Her Eyes were bored by the old morality and a life under totalitarianism and just wanted to leave. I remember that because it is what I also felt—the restless and troubled feeling under the burning sun in the abandoned rice fields, as if the only chance to live life was by taking to the UFO in Her Eyes and leaving. On an intellectual level, my work finds inspiration in symbolic and surrealist artwork. I UFO in Her Eyes to find an expressive method to portray how an individual tries to find a path of survival in the midst of history playing out within a totalitarian society—it is the perpetual, ongoing story of Sisyphus. Political satire is one way to describe this story; at the same time, I am also interested in non-linear structures and multiple points of view in cinema through which, I believe, one UFO in Her Eyes convey a complex social story more effectively. The film is visually rich, alive, and darkly funny, with a poetic, post-modern attitude. Film Database The database is still under construction and will constantly be updated.

Through his point of view, the village's collective portraits are depicted and their tragic destiny unfolds. What kind of future the villagers face, what future China heads to? Written by Anonynmous. I saw this film as part of the Ghent filmfestival The announcement reminded me vaguely of All Your Dead Ones Carlos Moreno,where local politicians take advantage of a mysterious phenomenon in their village, and use it for their own purposes. In other words, satire is intentional. This seems the case in this film too. Several dignitaries make their appearance, being their pompous selves. Bystanders like us cannot take them too seriously. We can only wait for their house of cards to collapse in the end. Contrary to aforementioned All Your Dead UFO in Her Eyes, the basic idea is not exploited fully here, rather the opposite. I can imagine, UFO in Her Eyes, that the underlying book did a better job assuming here. All in all, the minutes that this film takes, are not well spent. The idea is nice, but it deserves a much better script. In spite of all the effort put in landscapes, props and mass scenes, there is not enough interesting material to keep our attention span all the time. And as far as casting and acting is concerned, satire fails here big time with a majority of personages that are not believable, due to over-acting or being too one-dimensional. The only thing I could do when leaving the theater was scoring a 1 lowest for the audience award. Needless to say that I was disappointed and had expected something different from the given ingredients. Looking for something to watch?
