Zhou Jinghao “Girl on Edge” begins. A young woman appears skiing in a lightly lit ring, ending her routine and stops directly in front of the camera. Her face, full of red bruises in the blood. These are the first of many unbearable images that fill this psychological drama that reminds us of “Swan Black”. Such excitement, “Girl on Edge” revolves around a competitive athlete who tries to be the best and deal with her internal demons. The film is a confusing time, but it eventually failed to deliver, as there is nothing that comes after this opening clean or Cutthroat.
The Titular Girl is Jiang Ning (Zhang Zifeng) and is a evil competitor that passes through a period reserved in its training. It does not seem to make it properly, and has never been able to finish the routine without falling. Haling coach, her mother, Wang Xuang (what Yiley) cannot hide her disappointment. She constantly spoils her from her failures. The mother blames her short skiing career; She had to give up her when she became pregnant. This fraught situation becomes more tense when Wang takes another trainee, Chung Lindy (Ding Xiangio). Chung, a fenugreek worker, not a professional skiing, has a talent to spare it. Suddenly Jiang has a friend and competitor.
“Girl on Edge” takes some time to reach the meat of her story: the relationship between the two younger women. The film asks many interesting questions along the way. Will Chung come out to destroy Jiang, or will Jiang do himself from pressure to succeed? With skirting training and playing together, they seem to show the best in each other. Was it possible for the mother/coach Chong to give her daughter a reason to be better?
Although the film does not provide a satisfactory solution to these threads, the time the audience spends is often fun. But the ZHou feature loses its narrative edge in a series of mixed fluctuations. It seems that it reaches both deep and meaningful and vandalized “Gotcha” to enhance its excitement aspirations.
A “girl on the edge of the abyss” is still presented in pictures of what he lacks in the coherent narration. The novel of visual stories in memory closes: full of wonderful pictures with a metaphorical meaning. Jiang is trained in a sain -like device, as if it was in a cage, or appears like a Marionite doll that is manipulating a larger entity. Blue ski circuits and dance clubs, Jiang and Zhang, inhabited them, appear to be deceptive, as it was a reality both for dreams and the nightmare. Ski scenes are full of tension, with each autumn and it deviates greatly in the rapid closeness on faces and signs. The Yu Jing-PIN photographer creates a attractive visual atmosphere for these characters to play in. In addition, all the three main actors are close masters. They can carry a good frame and transport a lot without saying anything.
“Girl on Edge” promises psychological drama for mothers and girls. But in an attempt to reveal the internal disturbances of her characters, she loses her way. Instead of staying with the characters, it turns into a mixed chaos from the memories of the past, interpretations and non -satisfactory decisions. Zhou Stronel’s photos remain. If only the text program can keep up with.
