About Days in the Water
At a 1930s swimming match, a Chinese champion is forced to lose to his American rival. Later, the Chinese champion's son, another potential champion, is torn between the rigours of training and the lure of romance.
Directed by Tian Xie, Days in the Water leans on a strong ensemble — Shu Shi, Luo Guoliang, Yang Yu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1960.
