Wang Bing’s roving study of migrant laborers in modern China is a sometimes shocking, sometimes lulling immersion into a usually invisible swath of humanity.
An essential chronicler of modern China in constant flux, Wang Bing turns his camera this time on garment workers in Eastern China. His roving study of migrant laborers is a sometimes shocking, sometimes lulling immersion into a usually invisible swath of humanity. Wang’s steady gaze gives the sense of people (many of them teenagers) buffeted about by far more powerful forces, and mired in the daily grind. A prize-winner at last year’s Venice Film Festival, it’s another formidable effort from the director of ’Til Madness Do Us Part and Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks.
Please note: this screening will take place in the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.
