High-level documentary, even in today

This movie viewing experience is a little special. Before I clicked in, I thought it was a narrative movie. I just watched it for the first ten minutes with this idea. ? The first time I came into contact with the director's work, I marveled at the documentary of multi-person portraits being able to deal with it like this, using questions and similar scenes one by one, and adding a magic show in the second half, a very thoughtful editing to string up the whole film. The documentaries of the 1970s are still at the first-line level today, and there are almost no such interesting life documentaries in mainland China.

The Magician is a Star

Very affectionate portraits of Agnes neighbours - mostly shopkeepers, at work and at play.

For me, the extended sequence where they attend a performance of the local magician (and all-round entertainer) is the highlight, but there's lots else to savour here.

Agnes is such a master

Given the complexity of the editing, the script, the essay, the veritee situations, the technical limitations of that period and the amount of films Agnes was shooting in a row, to come up with something like this... wow.
