YOUTH

Feng Xiaogang China, 2017
What we're left with is the story of two people who knew each other often in their youth, but only really became friends years later, though they would met only a few times, years apart. Or rather, it's the story of a person who knew two people, once. It's a warm, at times lovely film packed with stirring music and dance and at least twice the humanity of The Thousand Faces of Dunjia.

The movie's depiction of cultural change is tidy to the point of being facile, which isn't to say it's ineffective. . . . As a straight, sentimental melodrama, "Youth" works well. While there are a lot of conventional tropes, the cast enacts them with such fresh, tenderhearted sincerity that they regain some power.

The film serves as a paean to idealism and endurance, yet the word "heart-breaking" comes to mind scene after scene.
