"A haunting account of damages endured, inflicted and forgotten … a challenging work that guards its secrets closely but builds cumulative power." – Hollywood Reporter

Cantankerous grandmother Deng is at sea amidst the kinetic, increasingly cosmopolitan world of the new China. Her husband has died and her children – at least in her mind – are conspiring to cut her out of their lives. But when mysterious calls begin arriving at her apartment and a strange young man starts following her on the street, it becomes clear that the sins of her own past are not as buried as she'd hoped.

Red Amnesia is the final instalment in writer/director Wang Xiaoshuai's much-heralded trilogy of films (11 Flowers, MIFF 2011; Shanghai Dreams, MIFF 2004) dealing with the ongoing repercussions of China's bloody Cultural Revolution. A riveting psychological thriller that unravels with precision and unflinching force, Red Amnesia is another remarkable rumination on memory and vengeance by one of China's true directorial marvels.

"Wang Xiaoshuai's film is anything but obvious when it comes to its conclusions. A complex and nuanced picture about the consequences of difficult choices." – Cinema Scope
