Across the Furious Sea is the much anticipated thriller comes from Cao Baoping, whose most notable works include Cock and Bull, The Equation of Love and Death and The Dead End. I’m also looking forward to watching The Perfect Blue, though with Fan Bingbing in the cast, I’m not sure when the film will be given the green light.

The film stars Huang Bo (Crazy Alien) as a father who is seeking revenge after his daughter died at the hands of her boyfriend, and Zhou Xun (Remain Silent) as the killer’s mother. Across the Furious Sea is scheduled for a Summer 2021 premiere.

If this were a movie poster, I would go see the movie.

Wow, wow, wow. The last photoshoot this stunning was the Zhong Chuxi photoshoot, also by photographer Guo Puyuan. I feel like we use playing with light and shadows to describe photoshoots a lot, but this one of Zhou Xun is something special. The lights are dazzling and so is Zhou Xun, and the whole photoshoot feels like it’s for a sci-fi psychological thriller. I’m going to have to go back and look up all of his work.
