Mrs. Fang- Wang Bing -2017- [ WORKING ]
Often described as one of the most harrowing and intimate documentaries ever made, Mrs. Fang is a stark, unflinching portrait of dying. The film follows Fang Xiuying, a 67-year-old woman from a rural village in Hubei province, China, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and is in the terminal stages of cancer.
Mrs. Fang is not a film you "enjoy" or "recommend" lightly. It is an essential, brutal work of art that functions as a mirror for the viewer’s own mortality. It refuses to turn death into a metaphor or a narrative climax. Instead, it simply records it, second by second, breath by breath, until there is nothing left. Mrs. Fang- Wang Bing -2017-
