Country: Bhutan
Director: Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche
Cast: Tshering Dorji, Tony Chiu-Wai Leung & Xun Zhou.
Every twelve years, a group of men and women gather in a secret forest of Eastern Bhutan in order to find out who they really are. They need to hide their identity for 15 days and enjoy the freedom of being unknown.
While searching for a Bhutanese film in any media, you will end up in a list containing at least two films of Rinpoche like Vara: A Blessing (2013), Travellers and Magicians(2003) and The Cup (1999). His films achieved quite a success at international festivals. The traditional Bhutan masks were used for each character in the movie and the only way to judge their performance is to keep an eye on their body language. The surprise entry of a Hong Kong superstar to do a tiny role shows the uniqueness of the movie. The idea of masked community works perfectly fine for me and the eager to find others hidden identity makes it even more interesting to see. Overall, the film is visually appealing and If you like to try something new, 'Hema Hema: Sing Me a Song While I Wait' will be a good choice for you.
Verdict: Good
