Nara International Film Festival 2022 International Competition Q&A Session with Ruth
“Virgin Blue” Directed by Xiaoyu Niu
The director, who lost her grandfather, drew inspiration for the story from some "presence" or "sensation" she experienced. The films draws the audience into a chaotic world where past, present, and future blend together - it's a "free" world.
The film takes place at home, depicting the boundary between the real and imaginary with originality by distorting various axes. Dreams are dreams if you believe in them, and when you wake up, you wake up from the dream as well. These words left a deep impression on me.
No one wants to wake up from a good dream, and we would want to believe the dream world is real. Watch the Q&A session here:
