Larry Yang
The once beautiful, now down-and-out Dragon Tiger martial artist Lao Luo lives with his beloved horse, Red Rabbit. Due to a debt dispute involving Red Rabbit, he is faced with the crisis of “father-son separation”. In desperation, Lao Luo asks his daughter Bao and her boyfriend Naihua, who have misunderstood him for years, for help. On the road of self-help of three people and one horse, they make a lot of jokes and gradually get closer to each other.
A pained cry pierces the heart of a rustic mountain town in Larry Yang’s remarkable second feature Mountain Cry. When La Hong (Yu Ailei) dies in an accident involving an explosive badger trap, naïve Han Chong (Wang Ziyi) obeys village decree and takes the responsibility of caring for La Hong’s mute widow Hong Xia (Lang Yueting) and their children. But as they start to form an emotional bond, suspicions arise concerning La Hong’s death. A melodrama condemning intolerance, it is also a love story of remarkable credibility and emotional depth.
