Explosion

1998 • Directed by

Dai Yi

Documentary

The film was shot over four years. A woman — from Hui'an, Fujian province — finds out that her husband has become infected with a venereal disease. She takes out her revenge on the local hotel and the barber shop (which are known as sites of secret prostitution in the city) by setting four explosives. Da Yi's film tries to understand why a kind, virtuous wife and mother turns to this extreme act.
