She’s Got No Name

Singapore Premiere

Peter Ho-sun Chan China 2025 96 min NC16 (Some Disturbing Scenes and Violence)

In 1940s Shanghai, a woman accused of brutally murdering her husband becomes an unlikely symbol of resistance and survival.

After a grisly murder occurs one night in the tenements of Jiangyuan Alley, blood dripping from the floorboards alerts the police, who arrive and arrest Zhan-Zhou. She readily admits to killing and dismembering her husband, except his head is nowhere to be found. This detail complicates the clear-cut resolution of the case, and her high-profile trial unfolds against the turbulent backdrop of a Shanghai under waning Japanese control.

Emboldened by the support of a fellow prisoner and a prominent female writer, Zhan-Zhou retracts her confession. In an era when working-class women had little autonomy, her act becomes a radical act of agency, with her fight for freedom echoing the city’s own struggle against its oppressors.
