(Er shi si cheng ji). Jia Zhangke’s exquisite documentary-fiction hybrid examines a Chinese factory city being dismantled to make way for luxury apartment houses. For Jia, “history is always a blend of fact and imagination.” Its workers narrate how the city’s walls have come to embody China’s modern history. Fictionalized monologues, based on workers’ experiences but delivered by actors, are interwoven with real-life testimonies charting the factory’s activities from the Korean War to the present day. What emerges is an elegy to a bygone city whose physical structures may be erased by the march of capitalist development, but whose memories live on.
