Karlovy Vary to Busan: ‘Pierce’ Fences With Family Ties and Hidden Truths
Nelicia Low's directorial debut explores love, doubt and hidden truths through competitive fencing.
“Pierce” follows Zijie, a young fencer who reconnects with his estranged older brother Zihan after Han’s release from seven years in juvenile prison for killing an opponent during a fencing competition. She used evocative imagery to illustrate the killer instinct – explosive yet agile bursts of physical aggression coupled with the psychological mind games employed to trick your opponent.” Weishi is collaborating with emerging Singaporean directors on their debut features, including coming-of-age drama “Midnight Blue Spring” by Giselle Lin, and dramedy “Build-to-Order” (working title) by Huang Junxiang.
