Our take

Xinyuan Zheng Lu’s hypnotic, monochrome debut distills that all-too-familiar state of post-graduation inertia into an aching portraiture of a millennial woman, cloaked in mists of cigarette smoke and wistful memories. The urban ennui of Hangzhou, Lu’s hometown, is at once mesmerizing and intimate.
