Caihong City
This website is called the Irish Indian times. It’s named as a form of pride and spite. As I started I was told to call it Potato curry. I am a product of partition,pushing 50 and only really in the last ten years in a situation to articulate that and some glint of what it means.
Ciahong city takes the diaspora that we like to pretend is regional and outside our jurisdiction and perception, but technology is seeing globalisation at a macro scale. With the 1% within themselves holding an elite position while the rest of us struggle for simple tastes and styles.
The world of Caihong is a fantastic world steeped in intimation of its past. While in college there is a consistency in psychology brought about by its language. We are on a road trip though the inequality of medication and education as the good , the bad and the junkie all work in the hardest form of adventuring one can see.
It’s a relatively simple plot in that regard but that players bought in at each opportunity, of a world half remembering how to function for itself. The make do and mend of it all has a febrile and sensual texture as sex and violence is one of the few pleasures that can’t be regimented.
It has a great warmth to it even in its melancholy. The strata and vistas of multi culturalism, orientalism and opportunity in these landscapes are shown in each zone. With cut outs and animation effectively maintaining a certain band designer quality to this fantasy land.
But the exposure of the exploitation as the ring leaders and blood and circus of the supertrial is brought to the fore helps show how all this life is built on the past, the past often denied by those living and floating on the privilege it’s given them.
It’s a film that has certain qualities that are more poetic than prose but well worth coming to see and have the tour guide experience Lavinia brings to it.
