“THE HEIGHT OF THE COCONUT TREES is enigmatic and elliptical, but it’s delivered with utmost confidence and beauty by Du, who makes an impressive feature debut rife with truths that speak a universal language.”
—In Review
“The visuals from Chinese-born writer/director Du Jie are as graceful and inventive as you might expect from an established cinematographer with the likes of MOON MAN and THE WASTED TIMES on his CV.”
—Screendaily
A ring found inside the belly of a fish connects two couples separated by time in Chinese cinematographer Du Jie’s Japan‑set debut. Both ghostly and tender, it transforms sorrow into narrative and offers a deep reflection on the lasting imprint of those we’ve lost.
