Tian zhu ding (A Touch of Sin)

Both the wealthy and the impoverished receive their fair share of unexpected comeuppances in these loosely intertwined grotesquely plighted a/morality tales, presented en masse as Zhangke Jia's Tian zhu ding (A Touch of Sin), guilty, of having sacrificed.

After the first two vignettes, requisite apprehensions immobilize one in regards to phases 3 and 4, which have the potential to be just as satirically maniacal, just as starkly im/balanced.

Questions of right and wrong atmospherically attire the violence with cold dreaded ethical extinctions, some of the characters not necessarily lacking options, yet inimically immersed in their own substantive slather.

Despair.

Foraged feelings fostered.

Values obliging concomitant abst(r)ains.

Nebulous nuts and bolts.

Complicit chaotic cankers.

Dissonant diabolic docility.

Interactive entropy.

So many reactions.

Consequences aplenty.

My eyes.

Tian zhu ding's so very unhappy.

Nothing's easy in this one.
