The ritual is known as a soul wedding. In a village in northern China, where young miners die almost every day, Xian Yangdong, the village soul wedding matchmaker,<br /> unwittingly gets involved in a murder to provide a female body for the ritual. This film describes the superstitious rituals of soul weddings in a very realistic way. Despite<br /> dark, moody lighting, long takes, and unfriendly editing which sometimes makes the characters' motives difficult to comprehend, the fast pace of the story stimulates the<br /> audience’s attention. This film is in two parts: In the first part, characters appear against the spectacular backdrop of the Chinese New Year Festival where some examples of soul weddings are seen. The second part focuses on Yangdong’s actions in great detail. The last scene of Yangdong smoking, mysteriously filmed from behind, leaves a lasting impression.[http://www.biff.kr/eng/html/program/prog_view.asp?idx=16199&amp;c_idx=12&amp;sp_idx=&amp;QueryStep=2 -- Busan International Film Festival]<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> * [[Hong-Wei Wei]]<br /> <br /> ==Image Gallery==<br /> {{AsianWikiImageGallery<br /> |1=Celestial Kingdom-001.jpg<br /> |2=Celestial Kingdom-002.jpg<br /> |3=Celestial Kingdom-003.jpg<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Film Festivals==<br /> * [[2011 (16th) Busan International Film Festival]] - October 6-14, 2011 - A Window on Asian Cinema *World Premiere<br /> * [[2012 (10th) Reggio Emilia: Asian Film Festival]] - March 16-24, 2012 - Competition Section<br /> <br /> ==Awards==<br /> * '''Best Director''' ([[Chao Wang]]) - [[2012 (10th) Reggio Emilia: Asian Film Festival]] - March 16-24, 2012<br /> <br /> ==Comments==<br /> &lt;wp:comments&gt;<br /> wp_post_title=Celestial Kingdom<br /> wp_url=http://asianwiki.com/commentsdirectory/<br /> &lt;/wp:comments&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UpdateBox}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Chinese films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 Chinese films]]<br /> [[Category:films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 films]]<br /> [[Category:Artouse films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 Artouse films]]<br /> [[Category:C Artouse films]]<br /> [[Category:Award Winning films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 Award Winning films]]<br /> [[Category:C Award Winning films]]<br /> [[Category:Award Winning-Artouse films]]<br /> [[Category:2011 Award Winning-Artouse films]]<br /> [[Category:C Award Winning-Artouse films]]</div>
