if i had a nickel for every time a sixth generation director included a western meme song dance sequence in their highly acclaimed hyper-serious organized crime film then i would have two nickels. which is not a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

#ymca in ash is purest white (2018) and ra ra rasputin in the wild goose lake (2019) #sorry for getting so hung up on the song but it’s seriously such #like it’s the vanilla extract in the marinara sauce here #it’s the salt on the chocolate chip cookies #it truly is my favorite element of this already unbelievably good film #ryddles

The Wild Goose Lake (2019) directed by Diao Yi-nan has a harsh view on the police force, and yet always stays ambiguous enough to have gotten through chinese censorship.

What fascinates me, is, depending on your perspective, the film either says “look at what the police does, they are like mobsters”, or it says, and that’s perhaps how censors chose to read it, “the criminal life doesn’t pay off because the police won’t stop chasing you until they get you”.

It’s a stunning and fitting way of self-contradiction in the blooming noir genre in China.

SUZHOU RIVER (2000)

hell yeah, gorgeous movie. (i loved whatever was going on with the handheld pov shots and extreme close-ups.)

if you like mermaids, magic realism, shanghai, weird identity stuff and doppelgangers, romance, dying "romantically," young zhou xun, idk, maybe you'll like this.

if you liked this film, you might like long day's journey into night (地球最後的夜晚) (2018) or the wild goose lake (南方車站的聚會 / 南方车站的聚会) (2019). (just based on vibes i guess)

this was playing at the roxie last year (march 2023) and i didn't go, but one of my friends went. i should have gone with her.

once i went somewhere with a friend and when i went back home my mom asked me what we did and i said that we watched suzhou river (we did not watch suzhou river).

i think of this as like "asako i & ii (2018) for boys" but that's probably inaccurate.

ps: you might enjoy this translation of a chinese review of suzhou river by "a teenager who likes fapping and suzhou river" by harryblarr on letterboxd.

The Wild Goose Lake is a 2019 Chinese neo-noir crime thriller directed by Diao Yinan.

The Wild Goose Lake (the name of a remote fictional town or its train station; the original Chinese title ‘A Rendezvous at a Station in the South’) takes place in noir-ish shady-lady territory. Zhou Zenong is a cop-killer on the run from both the cops and his fellow mobsters.

13/08/22-Curlew Sandpipers and more at Farlington Marshes and bits at home 

We went to Farlington Marshes early this afternoon to look for the Curlew Sandpipers. I was thrilled that we managed to see a couple, they are such smart and charming birds and one I do have a soft spot for. A key species of summer and early autumn for me. We saw them with help from BradNDadBirding who I knew from Twitter who it was great to meet and Jason which we were so thankful for. The Curlew Sandpipers were my first of the year, seen in very similar conditions to my last year tick another wader the Lesser Yellowlegs on a day during a heatwave at a coastal reserve Lymington that time last month, Curlew Sandpiper is my 191st bird species of the year. That makes my year list outright my fourth highest ever behind my 200 in 2019, 198 in 2018 and 197 in 2021 now overtaking my 2017 total which feels great. I took the sixth picture in this photoset a record shot of the Curlew Sandpiper and a Dunlin in a stunning view we got of one.

Other bird highlights at Farlington today included big flocks of Oystercatcher seen flying and gathered on the dry parts of the lake standing out and bronze Black-tailed Godwits both creating colourful artistic layers on the landscape. Ringed Plover, lots of Grey Plovers, Avocet, Shelducks including young and great views of Canada Geese with some youngsters and Moorhen stood out too. It’s always nice at this time of the year after perhaps a quieter period for birds to get a coastal site like this and see these types of birds again. I saw a Kestrel well on the way here.

It was a decent bit of time for butterflies too with Red Admiral, Meadow Brown and the obligatory Small Heath for a visit here at this time of year that we often make all nice to see. I caught sight of a dragonfly beside the reedbed quickly, probably a hawker. There were some nice flowers about including ragwort and dock including seen nicely near each other, bits of teasel and wild parsnip. I also enjoyed seeing my first rock samphire for a while a few clumps clinging to the sea wall, a nice one to see at this time of year. The glistening sea, summery reedbeds, brown fields in the distance and green vegetation were key parts of more lovely views to see on a scorching and sunny day the blue looking so nice. I took the first five pictures in this photoset of views here today. 

Wildlife Sightings Summary for Farlington: My first Curlew Sandpipers of the year, two of my favourite birds the Shelduck and Little Egret with lots of the latter about, one of my favourite butterflies the Red Admiral, Mallard, Teal, Moorhen, Mute Swan well, Canada Goose, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Grey Heron, Ringed Plover, Grey Plover, Lapwing, Curlew seen nicely, Dunlin, Oystercatcher, Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit, I believe Greenshank, Linnet, Meadow Pipit, Pied Wagtail, great views of Goldfinch and Starling in decent numbers, Carrion Crow, Meadow Brown, Small Heath and the dragonfly. 

At home today I liked seeing flowers, flowering and plants in general in the sunshine with buddleia of different colours including the bit in the ninth picture in this photoset, hebe, fuchsia, sunflower, sweet William, black-eyed Susan, a nice dahlia, geraniums, cosmos some or ones like it shown in the seventh and eighth pictures in this photoset I took today, the great willowherb on the balcony and others looking nice. Seeing the recently emerged agrimony a flower that fascinates me and one of the first I learnt shining in the sunlight was great this afternoon in the back garden. I also enjoyed seeing a bee on the buddleia with great views of House Sparrow, Goldfinch and Collared Dove in the back garden and on the balcony feeders seeing young Goldfinch well again. I liked seeing the plume moth in the tenth and final picture in this photoset in the living room. I saw another Hedgehog well in the front garden underneath the camellia bush before bed last night. It was nice to enjoy all the green leaves shining in the sunlight again too.

Some clouds built up this evening to allow for some glorious orange and red sky scenes towards sunset. And when the sun was making the sky orange I was thrilled to notice a group of Starlings across the top of the roof visible from my room. At various points in a few minutes of watching they came together with the sweet orange light behind them, and this also made the birds silhouettes. I relished chances to take photos of this with my DSLR camera and big lens, getting the full compliment in four pictures I took in the end I thought; a single Starling in shot, two and then the group with them all close together and the group with them spaced out a bit the latter two both having one below the top of the roof too. This was captivating to watch, allowed me to get the juices flowing a bit for thinking behind taking photos which I felt a fair bit today and it was I believe the best opportunity I’d got for Starlings in this project I’ve had the past three years or so of capturing backlit birds on the roof out the back of which this crucial garden species for us has been a key part of. I enjoyed seeing another Double-striped pug and a plume moth possibly the same one possibly Morning-glory plume tonight and the moon outside looking nice and big and great behind a tree. If it is a Morning-glory plume moth then the two moths tonight were the first two I saw this year back in January which is nice.

diao yinan is a great director but unfortunately he has fundamentally ruined my noodle eating experience because whenever i find myself kubrick staring at the wall while shoving a constant stream of noodles into my mouth (a good and normal way to eat noodles) i think “damn this is just like that one guy from the wild goose lake (2019)”
