Synopsis Of Suzhou River Film: Interpreting Love And Loss In Deep, Shows On KlikFilm

JAKARTA - Miss the movie Suzhou River? His appearance can be legally watched again on the KlikFilm streaming platform starting in May 2022. This is one of the films that has received praise in its era.

This film itself, was released in 2000. After the remastered process, one of Lou Ye's masterpieces can be enjoyed with better picture quality. The film features a captivating performance of Jio Hongsheng and Zhou Xun with an intimate emotional bond.

This film gives the sensation of regret, sorrow, and the power of love swimming in the mind. The film opens with the atmosphere of the Suzhou River in China with murky water and a slum environment witnessing various events from the discovery of corpses to residents who try their luck to survive.

A videographer (Hua Zhongkai) is recruited by the boss of an entertainment venue, Happy Tarvern, to promote a mermaid girl named Meimei (Zhou Xun) so that more visitors will fall in love. The two then had a love story. Meimei asks one day, if she ever disappears, will the videographer search for her as diligently as Mardar (Jio Hongsheng)?

Mardar is a freight forwarder who falls in love with Moudan (Zhou Xun). One day, his two partners, Lao B (Yao Anlian) and Xiao Hong (Nai An) plot a crime by involving Moudan as bait and demanding a ransom of 45 thousand Yuan.

Knowing that his life was only valued at 45 thousand Yuan, Moudan became furious and jumped off the river bridge. His body went limp. Mardar, who was shocked, jumped in to look for Moudan's body but could not find him.

Praise should be given to Zhou Xun who managed to build two different characters with the same natural character. Meimei and Moudan are unforgettable prima donna here.

In addition, Jio Hongsheng's performance as Mardar was able to match Zhou Xun's attractiveness. The two of them weave a tragic love story through the linking of emotions against a bright background.

Filmmaker Lou Ye, who directed and nursed this story, polished the love story of two pairs of people with an ever-increasing level of intimacy. It only takes him less than 90 minutes to speak with measured problems and emotions.

Watching the movie Suzhou River, makes the audience redefine love, loss, and regret. We don't need to doubt Lou Ye's skill in packaging the story, including the sharp characterization point of view from the start.
