River Without Banks

2014・台灣・92 minutes

The poet stepped into a dark corridor, and the dim light flickered in the stone chamber. How can one imagine the rumbling artillery fire here sixty years ago? In 1959, amid the flames of war in Kinmen, Love began to write "Death in the Stone Chamber", and in 2000 he composed the 3,000-line poem "Driftwood", opening a new page in the history of long poems in the Chinese poetry world. In nearly 70 years of creation, Love has repeatedly broken through the existing pattern and tested the magical realm of imagery. This film follows Love as he revisits the stone chambers in the Kinmen tunnels and returns to the scene of nostalgia in Hengyang, Hunan. It also records Louo Fus daily life after immigrating to Canada. The soaring and submerging of the "Poetry Demon" are all in it.
