Overview
Shot over the course of ten years on both film and video, the film consists of a series of carefully composed tableaux of people and environments. Pedestrians shuffle across a bustling Beijing street, steelworkers linger outside a deserted factory, tourists laugh and scamper across a crowded beach, worshippers kneel to pray in a remote village. With a painterly eye for composition, Wang captures China as he sees it, calling to a temporary halt a land in a constant state of change.

Featured Comments/Tips
I stumbled on this film randomly playing and I just ended up sitting through the whole thing transfixed. Definitely more art than documentary, but worth a watch to see a very diverse portrait of China.
