Movie Trailer Only The River Flows Image Safe about a year agoby Joey Paur

A teaser trailer has been released for a Chinese-set murder mystery thriller titled Only the River Flows. The story centers on a police chief who’s investigating a series of murders in a riverside town in rural village in China in the 1990s.

A woman's body is found by the river. “Ma Zhe (Zhu Yilong), Chief of the Criminal Police, heads up the murder investigation that quickly leads to an obvious arrest. His superiors hurry to congratulate him and urge him to close the case and move on, but several clues push Ma Zhe to delve deeper into the hidden behavior of his fellow citizens.”

I enjoy watching these kinds of movies, and this one looks like it’s going to be a good one worth checking out! It’s based on a short story by Yu Hua.

The movie comes from director Wei Shujun (Striding Into the Wind and Ripples of Life). The movie is set to premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
