Big Fish & Begonia

Asian Cinema • 1h 45m

Directed by Xuan Liang and Chun Zhang | 105 mins | 2016
“Spirited Away” meets “The Little Mermaid” in this gorgeously crafted fantasy blockbuster—a tale of shapeshifting, interspecies love and sacrifice sprung from ancient Chinese fables. The teenaged Chun—one of a mythical race of beings residing beneath the ocean—visits earth in the form of a red dolphin. When she gets trapped in a net, a young man nobly frees her, only to perish himself. Chun’s decision to resurrect him throws her world’s ecosystem into chaos.
