Mountains May Depart (Jia Zhangke, 2015, China/France/Japan, 131 min.) – Presented by Shaohua Guo
“Whither China? All of Jia Zhangke’s films ask this question, just with different pained inflections. […] Jia’s new feature, Mountains May Depart — a Palme D’Or nominee at last year’s Cannes Film Festival — poses the question with epic melodramatic sadness. Spanning the past, present, and future as experienced by a handful of characters, the film sees globalization and China’s boom years leading to a country reduced to a wasteland and a people that have irrevocably lost their culture.” (Ty Burr, The Boston Globe)
