The camera apathetically zooms in Mrs. Fang’s ghostly face, her mouth held open in a rigid grimace. Having suffered from Alzheimer’s for eight years, Fang Xiuying is now bedridden and surrounded by her relatives and neighbors, as they accompany her through her last days. “Mrs. Fang” depicts a shockingly raw and merciless portrait of Mrs. Fang’s final days. Unarguably the best work of Director Wang Bing, “Mrs. Fang” was honored with Golden Leopard at the 2017 Locarno Festival.
