Er shi si cheng ji

The conversion of a state-owned munitions factory into luxury high-rise apartments allows for an acute appreciation of Socialism's impact on the Chinese people and the complex social changes transforming the country in this masterful new documentary from Jia Zhang-ke.

Nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

"One of the world's preeminent filmmakers. A masterful and moving portrait." --J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
