Shanghai: Water Transport
A beautifully photographed trip back to the Shanghai of the 1930s, with views of the Bund's busy harbourside.
Overview
This beautifully-photographed film takes us back to the Shanghai of the 1930s, with junks and sampans cluttering the Bund's busy harbourside. We don't know who the filmmaker was but the 'human interest' agenda is clear (if a touch exotic): among the views of labourers and goods traversing the Huangpu River, women work with babies strapped to their backs, while boatmen row, their feet bare.
