  • Watch: Trailer for Touch of Sin, Jia Zhangke's Scathing New Movie about Modern China

    Chinese director Jia Zhangke rose to fame directing sullen, methodically-paced dramas about life in modern China, and his latest effort continues this theme, albeit with a far less subtle edge.

    According to Salon.com:

    “A Touch of Sin” both is and is not like Jia’s other films, which include “Still Life,” “The World” and “Unknown Pleasures,” along with several documentaries. Locations for these four allegorical tales are similarly downscale, ranging from brothels to bus and train stations to beaten-down peasants’ households to a dormitory for industrial workers. And then there’s all the killing. It would be a mistake to advertise this as an action movie – although some American distributor probably will – because it sets up false expectations. But Jia has evidently decided he’s done with subtlety and wants to move to a starker level of metaphor. Drawing on several different spectacular true-crime stories – a relatively new phenomenon in China – he delivers an art-house film with the body count of a “Die Hard” sequel.
