Ebbs and flows like poetry. This new feature looks back not only on recent national history but also on Jia’s entire filmography.

Zhao Tao, Zhou You, Li Zhubin, Zhou Lan,

“Jia Zhangke weaves a shimmering new tapestry from threads of his previous films. An epic, lyrical drama that is both Chinese master Jia’s career-retrospective reinvention and a defining portrait of modern China. . . . A masterfully poetic and pioneering fusion of the old and the new. The most definitive national portrait that Jia, modern China’s foremost cinematic chronicler, has ever delivered. A powerfully coherent portrait of a single woman, Qiao Qiao (Zhao Tao), from youth to middle age” (Jessica Kiang, Variety).
