In honor of International Workers' Day!
Directed by Jia Zhangke
2015 | 131 min. | China, France, Japan | Chinese and English with English subtitles
At once an intimate drama and a decades-spanning epic that leaps from the recent past to the present to the speculative near-future, this film from “Sixth Generation” filmmaker Zhangke is an intensely moving study of how China’s economic boom and the culture of materialism it has spawned has affected the bonds of family, tradition, and love. Official selection at the Cannes Film Festival.
