Mountain Cry (Chinese: 喊山) is a 2015 Chinese drama film directed by Larry Yang.[1] [2] The film is based on the novel of the same title by Ge Shuiping.[3]
Set in a remote village, the story begins with the sudden death of a husband and father whose family is new to the village's tight-knit traditional community. In the aftermath of that tragic event, the villagers come to know and understand the man's widow, a mysterious mute with a story to tell and the power to tell it wordlessly.
Production started in early October 2014 and principal photography took place in Shanxi.[1]
The film was the closing film at the 20th Busan International Film Festival.[4]
Justin Chang of Variety called the film a "forceful small-town melodrama [that] offers a sweeping indictment of human vindictiveness."[4]
