Inhumation is a traditional Chinese funeral custom. People believe that the dead can rest in peace only when they are buried in the earth. Otherwise, their souls will be lost and become wandering ghosts, never to reincarnate. The place where cattle laid comes from an ancient Book called Jin, which means a geomantic treasure place where people can rest in peace. In modern days, the Reform of Funeral and Interment began, and many stories of conflict with faith occurred. Old Li and the Fool’s journey took place in the autumn of the year when the burial was changed to cremation.

Highly Overrated But Still Good
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
