Jia Zhangke, widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading filmmakers, follows up his previous 'Still Life' with this seamless mixture of fiction and documentary. Shot in Chengdu before the earthquake, the film chronicles the dramatic fall of a factory and its conversion into luxury apartments. In a film both artfully composed and rich in detail, Jia weaves together the stories of three generations of factory workers into a fascinating oral history of China over the last 50 years, and a meditation on the huge personal sacrifices that have transformed the country. The story of one factory's workers becomes a microcosm of China itself.
