Italian gangster movie meets Chinese martial arts - what a combination. Mei grows up as the second child in the family during the one-child policy in China - hidden from the family, her father teaches her kung fu. She lets herself be smuggled to Rome by human traffickers to look for her missing sister.

boxd.itA ★★★ review of Forbidden City (2025)Fantasy Filmfest 2025 - Nights [English] Italian gangster movie meets Chinese martial arts - what a combination. Mei grows up as the second child in the family during the one-child policy in China - hidden from the family, her father teaches her kung fu. She lets herself be smuggled to Rome by human traffickers to look for her missing sister in a brothel. Unexpectedly, she meets chef Marcello. The Italian tearjerker with Chinese theatricality takes its course, Amore lies in the eternal city.

#People, bleurgh. They're everywhere! But one thing that #MonochromeMonday made me realize is that #bnw photos help reduce the "noise" of people; they simply blend into the image because there's no hot pink top or sparkly shoes that draw the eye. Maybe this is obvious to you professionals, but for me it has become a game changer and I'm rediscovering a lot of my photos in #BlackAndWhite that I didn't like very much before because of those pesky #humans in them. So thank you PixelFed for opening my eyes and making me see the world through grey-coloured glasses! 🩶

A black and white, low-angle shot captures a group of people walking away from the camera through a shadowed passageway. The passageway is long and narrow, with textured walls on either side and a floor that reflects the bright light emanating from the open end. Seven figures are visible, varying in size and apparent age. Most appear to be adults, and there is at least one child. Several of the individuals are wearing hats. They are all moving towards the bright opening at the far end of the corridor, where a glimpse of a large, light-coloured building with a traditional roofline and arched openings can be seen. The contrast between the dark, enclosed space of the passageway and the bright exterior creates a strong sense of depth and directs the viewer's eye towards the light and the figures moving within it. The overall mood is one of exploration and movement through a historical or architectural site.

Continuing the 2008 trip to China, a short walk from Tiananmen Square brought us to the Forbidden City which we walked the length of with our guide pointing out the halls and palaces along the way. Pictured is one of a pair of bronze lion sculptures guarding the Gate of Supreme Harmony. The lion cub under the paw symbolises abundant offspring for the emperor and indicates this lion is female. The lion on the other side had a globe under its paw, and was male, signifying rule over the world.

A blue sky with very faint, hazy clouds forms the backdrop to a complex of imperial Chinese temples and other buildings. Sweeping roofs of orange tiles run along one building and appear on tiers of a closer building to the right over its red-orange terracotta walls and bright red pillars. Wide, white stone steps lead up to this nearest building but our view is directed at the bronze sculpture of a bronze lion showing plenty signs of natural patination changing it to a dull, mottled green, which stands guard at one side of the steps. It's very ornate, with thick curls of mane that would suggest a male lion to western eyes even though it's actually a female representation; a thick chain of office with hanging orb hangs around the sculpture's neck and chest; under the left front paw there is a small lion cub on its back, held gently in place.

There’s something about the fragility of somewhat bare trees beginning to bloom that strikes me. If you’ve been following my work for a while, you’ll recognize this theme in my ‘Forbidden Tree’ image. Let me know what you think? Thanks!
