I Am Not Madame Bovary

In this biting satire, a woman from the countryside named Li Xuelian (played by Fan Bingbing) takes on the Chinese government and society in a decade-long battle for justice. After her husband falsely accuses her of being a "promiscuous woman" and denies their agreed-upon divorce deal, Li embarks on a absurd and hell-bent journey to clear her name and assert her rights. From the local police station to the highest courts in Beijing, Li faces off against corrupt officials, patriarchal norms, and societal expectations. Will Li's unyielding determination triumph over the bureaucratic machine, or will she succumb to the pressures of a rigged system? "I Am Not Madame Bovary" is a dark comedy that challenges the status quo and champions the resilience of the human spirit.
