Knitting (Niu lang zhi nu)

synopsis

The celestial love between Zhi Nu, the immortal Weaving Maiden, and Niu Lang, the poor Cowherd, has shaped the dreams of generations of Chinese. In the sophomore work of filmmaker and poet Yin Lichuan, the myth--which is tied to Chinese Valentine's Day - reverberates with nostalgia in an earthy yet gentle tale of a ménage à trois.
