Suffocation (2005)

Member Rating:

A schizophrenic photographer becomes convinced that he murdered his cheating wife before disposing of her body in a cello case in director Zhang Bingian's blackly comic psychological shocker. As the lines between the conscious and the subconscious gradually begin to blur, madness begins to infect the mind of the deeply disturbed shutterbug (Ge You) who can't quite distinguish reality from fantasy. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

What does a laughably relaxed, mainland Chinese censorship board, an art house story with suspense that builds up to very little and a director that is dissatisfied with the necessary resources to do a better job all have in common - this movie. The story is repeatedly told from the perspectives of several characters. The best thing to say about this movie is that it was well directed. Though the movie is not rated, it could easily pass with a PG rating. There are no menu options for languages or subtitles. The subtitles suffered from moderate grammatical errors. The audio is in stereo. As for extras, there's a "Theatrical Trailer" for the movie, a "Subject of the Film" feature (12:29 min) that is hosted by the director and a "Behind the Scenes" feature (20:07) that is not subtitled, which is not a problem since there's very little audible dialogue. Not recommended.
