Night Peacock (2016)
Original title: 夜孔雀
Night Peacock is a 2016 Chinese-language romance movie directed by Dai Sijie, with a running time of 1h 25m. It stars Liu Yifei, Leon Lai Ming and Liu Ye.
Liu Yifei plays Elso, a reputed French flutist who travels from Paris to Chengdu. Her life is compared to the one of a night peacock, an eternal conflict between life and death, love and time. A night peacock, by Fabre’s definition, is a moth with the life goal of finding their soul mate.
