Taking on a businessman’s biography writing job, she hikes into the misty mountains, where a chain of outbursts with her dysfunctional family, grumpy client, misogynistic co-worker and dreamlike romantic interest hilariously unfold. As deeply moving as it is luminously witty, writer-director Teng Congcong’s debut waltzes across the bitterness swallowed by her generation of women born under China’s One Child Policy, unprecedentedly burdened to “surpass men” while trying not to be “leftover women” at the same time. Saluting the 18th-century Chinese literature classic Dream of the Red Chamber in its title, the enchanting gem refreshes the novel's transcendent contemplation on desire, death and womanhood from a modern cinematic perspective. 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes “Yao’s soulful and stirring performance as a complex woman struggling to understand herself - and life itself - anchors “Send Me to the Clouds,” allowing it to truly soar.” — Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times “One of the most original, moving, subtly funny, and disarmingly entertaining foreign language films of the year.” — Andrew Parker, The Gate “An honest and broadly recognizable picture of modern womanhood… a cinematic roar — and universal despite its geographic specificity.” — Elizabeth Kerr, Hollywood Reporter “Teng’s fine-tuned direction and Yao’s spot-on performance combine impressively to maintain Sheng Nan’s dignity and deepen viewers’ sympathy even as she stumbles, blunders and suffers embarrassment in her pursuit of satisfaction.” — Richard Kuipers, Variety Official Selection St. Louis International Film Festival San Diego Asian Film Festival Singapore International Film Festival Hong Kong Asian Film Festival Nominations Best Director, Best Film, Shanghai International Film Festival Special Presentation, First International Film Festival Best Directorial Debut, Best Writing, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Golden Rooster AwardsDVDs ARE REGION 1 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
