A remote village in a rugged corner of Yunnan Province in southwest China is haunted by traces of its cultural past as its residents piece together their existence. Divided into three parts, this epic documentary takes an intimate look at its varied cast of characters, bringing audiences face-to-face with people left behind by China’s new economy. “Directed with scrupulous attention to detail by Zhao Dayong” (Manohla Dargis, New York Times), Ghost Town is “one of the most important films to have emerged from the booming (but still underexplored) field of Chinese independent documentaries” (Dennis Lim, Moving Image Source). “I do not expect to soon find scenes to match Ghost Town’s mountaintop funeral, the running along after a rowdy exorcism, or the scanning of faces at the town Christmas chorale. His back to prosperity, Dayong finds hallowed ground” (Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice). (dir.: Zhao Dayong, China, 169 min., video, Mandarin, Nu and Lisu with English subtitles) |
