Dream of Loulan

2000 years ago Loulan, a famous ancient country on China's Silk Road, disappeared mysteriously, leaving only a mystery that was difficult to solve for a thousand years. In the 1930s, archaeologist Wen Xiaochen led an archaeological team from Beiping to investigate the Western Regions again in order to explore the traces of Loulan. One day, Professor Wen and Japanese scholar An Teng discovered a wooden slip with clues about the cemetery of Mrs. Angui of Loulan Wang. Their actions have been watched by Ma Zhankui, the leader of the desert bandit "Black Wind". Ma Zeng was driven out of the archaeological team by Professor Wen for robbing the tomb.

Day of the Full Moon

Day of the Full Moon, a series of vignettes from Russia past and present, summons the spirit of Ophuls’ La Ronde, Altman’s Nashville and Short Cuts, and the time-shifting strategies of Resnais (Mon Oncle d’Amérique) to tell provocative, connected stories illustrating the waltz of years and whim of memory. In 1948, a young man, a boy, and a waiter are captivated during the full moon by a mysterious woman in a lilac dress. The effects of this event ripple across the years, washing over more than 80 characters, including a disc jockey, a fairy princess, a gangster, Alexander Pushkin, and a nostalgic dog. But which of these are dreams, and which reality? Director Shakhnazarov continues his career-long focus on the intersection of past and present with this mysterious, exhilarating mosaic of humankind, which in the end both seduces and satisfies.
