Mistress Dispeller
(Mistress Dispeller)
After years of marriage, Li discovers her husband is passionately writing to a younger woman and decides to act. She’s disappointed but wants to save the marriage. She goes to Wang Zhenxi, a mistress dispeller well-known for ending extramarital affairs. Wang’s intervention in the love triangle, spanning several months, is full of subtle manipulation and funny situations that are hard to imagine in our social milieu.
The film offers a remarkable insight into how romantic affection changes at different stages of life. It explores love, fidelity and invasions of privacy in the context of modern China. At the same time, it avoids judgment and allows for deeper introspection from all involved, which stimulates discussion about relationships, culture and social changes.
