Abstract
Replete with sumptuous night-time sequences and gripping, if perfunctory, cat-and-mouse scenes, 'The Wild Goose Lake' evidences - yet again - the stylistic prowess of Chinese writer/director Diao Yinan. Building a world of gangsters, revellers, sex workers and cops, the film is also a meditation on crime, violence, and the tension between culpability and necessity.
