When death haunts a high school in a small town in the late 1990s, everyone is forever transformed. In this gentle, prismatic film, Samara returns to the town she fled as a teen to re-immerse herself in the memories still lurking there, in its spaces and within the dusty boxes of diaries, photos and VHS tapes. 1999 is not a ghost story, but the ghosts are palpable at every turn......
The drama is really excellent, I love the way Gu Wei took care of the patient, esp the little kid. Although he might be cold at first, but he is really warn inside. Xiao Zhan did the very brilliant performance, full score for him....
