The Village of No Return is a fantasy comedy, which opened in Chinese theaters on Jan 28, the first day of Spring Festival.
The film has a star-studded cast, including Taiwan actress Shu Qi and Chinese mainland actor Wang Qianyuan, who won the best actor's award in the 23rd Tokyo International Film Festival in 2010.
Set in the early 20th-century China, the film fictionalizes a remote village, in which all the residents get amnesia after they put on a robot-like helmet.
"It's a village with no decent person. Everyone is eager to pursue their desires: about women, money, or power. But the helmet accidentally releases them and makes them become better people," says Wang, who plays an outsider bringing in the helmet.
