Jia Zhangke has become widely regarded as one of world cinema s most accompIished filmmakers, and a leading figure of the Sixth Generation movement of Chinese cinema. This coIlection presents three of Jia s most compelIing works together on BIu-ray .
ln 24 City (2008), Jia skilfully combines documentary and fiction fiIm as he records the social impact of transforming a miIitary hardware factory into a complex of Iuxury fIats.
The Cannes prize-winner A Touch of Sin (2013) focuses on four people living across China who are driven to acts of violence. An angry miner, enraged by corruption in his village; a migrant who discovers the infinite possibilities of owning a firearm; a receptionist at a sauna who is pushed to the Iimit by a client; and a young worker drifting through the foreign-owned factories and nightcIubs of the south.
Jia s eighth feature fiIm, Mountains May Depart (2015), is an intimate and moving drama spanning severaI decades which charts the impact of China s capitalist experiment on the Iives of one famiIy. |
