Still Life (2006)

Posted on 13:37 by john cena
Cautiously Recommended
China/Hong Kong
Feature Film
Original Title: 三峡好人
Director: Jia Zhangke
Writers: Jia Zhangke, Guan Na, Sun Jiamin
Cinematographer: Yu Lik-wai
Composer: Lim Giong
Cast: Zhao Tao, Han Sanming, Li Zhubing, Wang Hongwei, Ma Lizhen, Zhou Lin, Luo Mingwang

Chronicling a city and its inhabitants in a state of flux, Jia’s beautifully observed if emotionally uninvolving film, with its long, stately takes, restrained performances, and lack of any real resolution, proves to be an admirable if somewhat inconsequential and forgettable work. Iain.Stott
