Journey To The West (2021)

Journey to the West is a movie from 2021 about a scientist looking for alien life in China. He used to work for a popular magazine that he has since taken over, but its popularity has faded, and they are struggling to make ends meet.

One day, he gets a report of a mass sighting of alien life, and together with colleagues, he makes the journey from Beijing to Chengdu (west) to investigate.

It's a slow (but not too slow) movie about a group of eccentric people that takes place in rural southwestern China with plenty of humor. The landscape and cinematography are the main stars of the film, and it was fun seeing places I’ve visited before. Now I want to go back.
