| Summary |
| |
This bracing look at a year in the lives of a group of high-school delinquents refreshingly features a teenage girl at the center. Feng has trouble at home. Her parents are divorced. Her mother is absent from her life and her father works long hours as a security guard and is embittered. Feng runs with the tough crowd at the titular school. When a new boy transfers from Lhasa, he seems at first to be a roughneck out to intimidate his way to the top of the Princess Trees heap. But the film turns ever so delicately on Feng's change of perspective, the gradual shift of her sexual interest away from the handsome, homegrown gang leader to the pugnacious outsider, whom she comes to see as a kindred soul desperate for love.
