CFS Film Screening: The Wild Goose Lake

Join Canterbury Film Society for our Monday night screening of The Wild Goose Lake (Diao Yinan • 2019 • 113 mins • China • R16)

In Wuhan, a network of lakes provides ideal places to hide, and when transgressive mid-level crime boss Zhou needs to lay low, he looks for anonymity amidst the neon-lit hangouts. There he meets sex worker Liu, who works for Zhou’s boss and who may or may not be there to save him. Gangland subterfuge tumbles into a dazzling nocturnal manhunt in this film noir par excellence – a modern genre classic in the making. “Spellbinding pulp noir” – Rolling Stone
