Torturing Nurse
Li Hongqi
Release year: 2017
Run time: 91 minutes
Film type: Documentary
Synopsis
Torturing Nurse can be seen as the answer to the question posed by the title of Li Hongqi's first music documentary, Are We so Far from the Asylum? . Both films were made on the spur of the moment, the difference being that Are We so Far from the Asylum? was made specifically for Yang Haisong to make up for the fact that I never used his music despite his many offers, whereas Torturing Nurse is 100% personal. It was shot and produced in a very short space of time but this does not mean it was a sloppy production. In fact, Torturing Nurse is the least regrettable of all the video works I have completed so far, including the feature film.
