Screening Log, December 2005

The World
Shijie / China/Japan/France / 2004

I don’t own a cellular phone and I don’t speak Mandarin. Jia Zhang Ke’s most recent film makes me realize that these two personal traits will probably change into a different reality within a few years, and apparently not for the better in the former case. Though the picture quality and sub-titles were both rather suspect, it’s certainly amongst the most interesting films I’ve watched this year and I always appreciate Jia Zhang Ke’s technique, though I’ve never been completely engaged by his films. Of course, I haven’t watched Unknown Pleasures yet.
