Burial rites become the mise-en-scène in which politicians, the media, a monk and an infuriated neighbor vividly portray the aftermath of an accident.
“Condolences” becomes a singular, one-shot take of wonderful cinematic empathy and beauty. The limited resources are nonetheless enough to evocatively convey Ying Liang’s distinctive style and heartfelt preoccupations.
