The Grief of Others

A Bread Factory
Part One: For the Sake of Gold
(2018)
Wang’s two-part work, A BREAD FACTORY, leans more into the avant garde—blending elements of comedy, musical, drama, surrealism and slice-of-life to create something wholly unique. Wang’s skill for examining the human condition is out in full force as the community dynamics of Checkford are placed under a microscope with more humour, fun, and fantasy than ever before.

Part Two: Walk with Me a While
(2018)
Where A BREAD FACTORY, PART ONE sets the stage for bizarre antics, PART TWO rolls on the cast. Despite the swell of theatrics and eccentric set pieces, an edge of mystery and the sense of something-not-quite-right begins to creep in to the town, as the film ultimately must reconcile itself with reality, and the flaws, losses, and failings of people.
