24 CITY
(ER SHI SI CHENG JI)
2008, Jia Zhang-ke, China, 107 min.
With Joan Chen, Lu Liping, Zhao Tao
“Amazing and intricately structured...one of the most original filmmakers working today.”--Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
“As far as I’m concerned, history is always a blend of facts and imagination.”--Jia Zhang-ke
Jia Zhang-ke has been called “the most important filmmaker in the world” (Stuart Klawans, The Nation). Like all Jia’s films, including PLATFORM, THE WORLD, and STILL LIFE, 24 CITY is about the massive upheavals sweeping contemporary China. The setting is Chengdu, a city in Southwest China where a venerable munitions factory is closing its doors to make way for a luxury high-rise complex known as 24 City. Jia interviews a cross-section of citizens caught in the crosshairs of change; his controversial twist is that some of the “real people” are composites portrayed by professional actors, including Joan Chen as a frustrated actress and Zhao Tao (star of THE WORLD and STILL LIFE) as a paid shopper for wealthy women. In Mandarin with English subtitles. 35mm. (MR)
