BAMcinématek 2017
series Jiang Wen Rising
Directed by Jiang Wen | 2010
With Chow Yun-fat, Jiang Wen, Ge You
Jiang’s loopy sensibility meets action genre spectacle, and the results shattered box office records in China. It’s a totally unhinged mix of cartoon comedy and rat-tat-tat gunplay, with the director as a bandit facing off against Chow Yun-fat’s crime boss in 1920s China. Appreciate this for both its ceaselessly inventive, pure-pleasure filmmaking, as well as for the sly political commentary that Jiang sneaks in.
