I am Here (2014)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2014
Director: Lixin Fan
Actors: -
Country: CN
Genre: Documentary, Music
Conditions of visioning: 01.05.2015, Teatro Nuovo, FEFF2015
Synopsis: A documentary behind the scene of the most famous Chinese talent-searching TV shows.
Review: I was curious to learn how a Chinese documentary could criticize a popular show from the same country, and I quickly got my answer: it doesn't.
OK you have a few scenes when the contestants complain about the place where they are parked and filmed all day long, and you witness the hardness of the Singing and Dancing trainers, but no more than you see on the show itself. In fact, the documentary looks like a brief summary of the 2013 season of the show, nothing more. And it is just like any of those shows you can see in France or Germany for example. So a rather useless documentary.
Rating: 2 /10
