The Nightingale seemed to come from nowhere to be China's official entry to the awards, but experts see compelling reasons for the choice, Han Bingbin reports.
A small production has taken the public by surprise after it was chosen as China's official entry to the competition of the 2015 Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.
The Nightingale, a Chinese-French co-production that was finished in 2012, and had its release date postponed several times for unknown reasons, has shot to overnight fame thanks to the breaking news.
