More Than One Is Unhappy (2000)

Wang Fen’s father is a small-time railway bureaucrat who’s had many extramarital affairs; her mother claims not to have a single good memory of her married life with him. Funny how a 30-year-marriage can sound so different when described by separate parties in separate interviews. Wang captures her parents’ broken marriage with a carefree, humorous yet somehow also critical perspective, lacing her film with pop music from their generation.
