« Have you ever loved someone so deeply that you lost yourself in the process? This unspoken question haunts every frame of Bona, a film that forces the audience to confront the raw, often uncomfortable realities of devotion. Originally released in 1980, the film holds a mirror to a society tangled in its contradictions, its obsessions, and its relentless class struggles. » (The Asian Cut)
