Overview

Jia Zhangke, an astute and critical chronicler of modern China, discreetly mixes reminiscence and performance in this cool, measured semi-documentary account of the changing fortunes of a military hardware factory turned into luxury flats and a shopping mall. Those affected by its history(or actors playing them) relate revealing stories, often to very moving effect.
