All for a dollar


Mountains May Depart (2015)

Written & directed Jia Zhangke this film stars Zhao Tao, Zhang Yi, Liang Jingdon and Dong Zijian. We the future of China as it opens up to capitalism through the lives of three friends.

I really liked the way the scope of this film as it looks at the recent past, present and future of China. Possibly a little bit slow and lacking in action for some but I thought this was a great meditation on a country unsure of it's identity and future. Well directed and with some excellent performances this is worth a watch.

4/5
