Sorrowful Hand in Light is a gorgeous visual interpretation of a poem written by director Xiangyu Wang. An experimental visual poem that explores obsession, love, connection, and how fleeting it all is. Colorful and dreamlike, Sorrowful Hand in Light evokes styles of Terrence Malick and Wong Kar-wai.

The film’s use of light and color to recreate the images described by the poem paints a very stunning visual poem that stays true to its words. Like Wong and Malick’s films, the story is open to interpretation while taking you on an emotional and melancholic journey.

The beautiful cinematography and fast-paced editing help create for an artistic and thoughtful visual experience that is as fleeting as the love it depicts.
