Shu Qi talks about the pressure of being a director for the first time

After the premiere, Girl received nearly ten minutes of applause from the audience and fans, making the 49-year-old star cry with emotion. The Taiwanese filmmaker hugged the cast, and they celebrated this special moment in tears.

Premiering her first film in Venice, Shu Qi admitted that she felt a lot of pressure when trying her hand at being a director. She confided that before, when she was an actress, she only needed to focus on her role, had time to take care of her appearance, demeanor, and character's emotions, but as a director participating in a film festival, she was very worried, with a lot of pressure that was hard to describe in words. Because she was so worried, she did not care about choosing clothes and makeup to attend the event, only focusing on thinking about the reactions after the first audiences enjoyed the film. The moment she received encouraging applause and compliments, the female star was able to relieve an invisible burden.

Girl is competing for the Golden Lion - the most important category at the Venice Film Festival. The film revolves around Lam Tieu Le (played by Bach Tieu Anh), a quiet, reserved girl who grew up in the quiet darkness. Then her encounter with the lively and carefree Ly Le Le awakens her long-buried dreams. But, just as Tieu Le begins to open up to the world , her mother's cruel past comes flooding back, illuminating her own pain. Tieu Le is trapped between her inherited sadness and her desire for freedom, forcing her to find a way to overcome the darkness of a life she never chose...

The film received many positive reactions from experts. Among them, Variety 's critic commented: "As a director, Shu Qi shows a tough seriousness but at the same time shows compassion for children trapped in an endless cycle of violence. A cycle in which there is no salvation, only a vague hope that they themselves can find a way out."
