Reviews
….The real surprise in competition comes from China…Dry and without concessions, his first feature film Piercing I is the vivifying sign of chinese animation's return.Thierry Meranger / Les Cahiers du Cinéma. …piercing soon turns nightmarish film noir. One can not help but think of the Coen Brothers films, especially the first of them, Blood Simple (1984). Thomas Sotinel / Le Monde.
