One of the most accomplished documentarians of Chinese cinema, Wang Bing turns his camera to the death bed of a woman in Southern China in his Golden Leopard-winning new film. Ailing from Alzheimer’s, the titular character is on her final days, waiting for the inevitable as she gets into daily chatter with her family members. Director Bing challenges the audience as he bravely and unsentimentally points his camera to the face of death. Bing doesn’t provide us with any information about Mrs.Fang’s past or her relationship, but finds an unforgettable story that is raw, universal, and visually arresting in her departure from the world.

Giorgio de Chirico was born on July 10, 1888, in Volos, Greece, to an Italian family. His mother, Gemma Cervetto, was from a family of Genoa origin, but most likely she was born in Izmir. His father, Evaristo, was born on June 21, 1841 in the Büyükdere district of Istanbul.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
Coffee was served with much splendor at the harems of the Ottoman palace and mansions. First, sweets (usually jam) was served on silverware, followed by coffee serving. The coffee jug would be placed in a sitil (brazier), which had three chains on its sides for carrying, had cinders in the middle, and was made of tombac, silver or brass. The sitil had a satin or silk cover embroidered with silver thread, tinsel, sequin or even pearls and diamonds.
