Black Maze

Reeds, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, captured soldiers, sold armor, and exchanged rice for grain.
The child died in battle, the friend returned fortunately, it was difficult to make a living, and he wanted to die.
The daughter-in-law is young, strong in body, her husband is dead, her heart is swaying, she covets each other, and rolls out of bed at night.
The mother-in-law is anxious, lonely and old, wants to break up, wears a mask, and pretends to be a demon.
Soul Gu, meat shell even, painstaking efforts, become a magic fairy.
The reeds, the night rush, the corpse hole, the air echoes.

    I thought it was a psychological horror film, but it turned out to be a great satire of humanity in war. The black and white images are irreplaceable and have profound meanings; the swaying reeds cannot cover up the humanity in the reeds; the so-called under the mask The monster, profoundly and straightforwardly criticizes the animal nature in human nature. High, really high! 4.5
