Digital release: ‘Crosscurrent’

By   |  Feb 21, 2020

MUBI are bringing the 2016 Chinese drama ‘Crosscurrent’ (长江图) to Digital on April 3, 2020.

Directed by Yang Chao, the film follows a ship’s captain as he travels up the Yangtze river and discovers the same mysterious woman at every port. The cast includes Qin Hao, Xin Zhilei, Wu Lipeng, Wang Hongwei, and Jiang Hualin.

Synopsis: From the spinning Shanghai metropolis to snow-capped Tibetan mountains, Gao Chun steers a cargo up the Yangtze river and comes across a reversely aging woman named An Lu at every port recorded in a poetry book. He wonders whether she is supernatural or if he is travelling back in time. After passing a pagoda that reverberates Buddha’s voice, a flooded town reappeared elsewhere and the grandiose Three Gorges Dam, he finally arrives at the start of the river and unveils the secret of his past and An Lu.

‘Crosscurrent’ will be available for streaming on Mubi.com, or you can pick it up now on Blu-ray/DVD from Amazon.com.
