Why watch this film?
Who hasn't gone through that strange limbo where you don't know where you fit in, who your people are, and where you want to go in life? Chinese filmmaker Zheng Lu Xinyuan's debut feature 'The Cloud in Her Room' is an exploration of that loneliness and disorientation that comes around the age of 20 when we are just starting out with adult life (with the added experience of a woman), portrayed halfway between weary contemplation and a hypnotic black and white collage.
