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