A Woman of Genius

Singer, songwriter, and actress 9m88 at the press conference for the premiere of 女孩 (Nǚhái) (Girl) at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival in Venice, Italy, September 4, 2025. “Girl is set in 1998. I was born in 1990. I remember that, in those days, women still lived under a burden”, she said. “They were dependent on their male partners, doubting they could do anything without them. When I came across the character I was going to play, I immediately thought she was very fascinating: she’s a mother who doesn’t know herself and is trying to figure it all out”.
