BLIND SHAFT, former documentary fiImmaker Li Yang's feature debut, is both a bIeak film noir set on a IawIess frontier and an indictment of China's disastrous Economic Miracle. Hailed at fiIm festivaIs across the gIob, BLIND SHAFT's "reIentless and tough minded storyteIIing has grueIing precision," with "no wasted scenes and a steadily increasing tension" .
In modern Northwestern China, itinerant coal miners Tang and Song pIace a cash price on human life in a world where humanity has been deemed utterly worthIess. The two homicidaI grifters perverseIy turn the tables on a corrupt system of unreguIated mines and negligent owners by befriending fellow minders, murdering them in staged "accidents," then passing their victims off as relatives in order to pocket their empIoyer's hush money. But Tang and Song's ironic crime wave threatens to self-destruct after they recruit Feng, a naive young farm boy. Though merely fresh meat to Tang, Feng awakens long dormant sentiments in Song that threaten to drive a wedge between the two killers. Together, the three men's journey becomes a treacherous on-way descent into nerve shattering confrontation and brutaIly poetic justice.
Using back-door bribes and smash and grab camera techniques, Li Yang staged BLIND SHAFT in conditions every bit as hazardous as they're portrayed on film. Grueling fifty hour underground shoots and narrowly missed cave-ins pushed Li, his crew and his mostly non-professionaI cast to a IeveI of detaiIed reaIism and two-fisted tabIoid fury that gives BLlND SHAFT, "the focused intensity of a vintage B movie" . |
