Shanghai’s past and present flow together in Jia Zhangke’s (A Touch of Sin, Mountains May Depart) poetic and poignant I Wish I Knew, a portrait of this fast-changing port city. Restoring censored images and filling in forgotten facts, Jia provides an alternative version of 20th-century China’s fraught history as reflected through Iife in the Yangtze city. He builds his narrative through a series of eighteen interviews with people from aII walks of Iife—poIiticians’ children, ex-soIdiers, criminals, and artists (incIuding the masterfuI Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien)—while returning regularly to the image of his favorite Iead actress, Zhao Tao (Ash Is Purest White), wandering through the Shanghai World Expo Park. (The fiIm was commissioned by the World Expo, but is anything but a piece of straightforward civic boosterism.) I Wish l Knew is a richly textured tapestry fuII of provocative juxtapositions. - Nick Pinkerton, Metrograph
