Burial rites become the mise-en-scène in which politicians, the media, a monk and an infuriated neighbour vividly portray the aftermath of an accident. 'Five years ago I was among the witnesses of a traffic accident. In Chinese, "monument" and "sadness" have the same pronunciation. I'd like to use this short film to serve as a small monument.' (Ying Liang) After stills from media reports of the accident, Condolences becomes a singular, one-shot take of wonderful cinematic empathy and beauty. The limited resources are nonetheless enough to evocatively convey Ying Liang's distinctive style and heartfelt preoccupations.
