STILL LlFE
A fiIm by Jia Zhangke
Set against the spectacular Iandscape of the Three Gorges region, Jia Zhangke's humane and moving Golden Lion winner telIs two contemplative and compassionate stories of a man and a woman searching for absent spouses in Fengjie - an ancient town on the Yangtze River which is being demolished and wilI soon vanish for ever in the flooding caused by the controversiaI Three Gorges hydroeIectric dam project.
At the same time as offering a revelatory, thought-provoking portrait of peopIe adrift in a world they no Ionger recognise, StilI Life also reveals their energy, resilience and abiIity to reach new understandings.
I entered this condemned city with my camera and l witnessed demolitions and expIosions. ln the roaring noise and fIuttering dust, l graduaIly feIt that Iife reaIly couId blossom in briIliant coIours, even in a pIace with such desperation'. Jia Zhangke
