I am not Madame Bovary 12A
This cunning comedy is a sharp satirical commentary on the Chinese government, with a tantalising, intriguing cinematic style.
Fan Bingbing stars as a young woman who finds herself going head-to-head with the bureaucratic system after her now ex-husband tricks her into divorce and smears her reputation. I Am Not Madame Bovary is a playful portrait of a young woman’s unwavering determination, cleverly wrapped up in a unique and absorbing visual style.
