In this episode of Binge Guide, we dive into An Unfinished Film, a thought-provoking docufiction that blurs the lines between reality and storytelling. Directed by Liu Ye, this film takes us to the early days of the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, where a film crew attempts to finish a project abandoned a decade earlier—only to be caught in the chaos of a global pandemic.
Through a mix of real lockdown footage, staged scenes, and actors playing versions of themselves, An Unfinished Film challenges our perception of truth, history, and filmmaking itself. How do we construct narratives in times of crisis? How does censorship shape our understanding of reality? And can cinema capture the raw, unfiltered experience of a global event?
Join us as we break down the film’s unique style, Liu Ye’s bold storytelling, and the deeper questions it poses about art, society, and the power of narrative. If you love films that make you think long after the credits roll, this one is a must-watch.
