Movie: "STILL LIFE"

"Majestic... an extremely beautiful movie. Jia [is] a master filmmaker." - David Denby, The New Yorker

"The best film of the year." - La liste des lecteurs, Cahiers du Cinema

"One of the world's most important filmmakers... A human triumph." - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

"Jia's finest film yet... quietly powerful. One viewing is not enough to absorb STILL LIFE." - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon

A peerless chronicler of China's astonishing, relentless pursuit of change, Jia Zhang-ke's (The World, Platform) latest feature is set in Fengjie, a small city soon to be submerged by the waters of the massive Three Gorges Dam. As crews demolish entire blocks and Fengjie prepares to disappear, two travelers come to town looking for a link to the past -- a coal miner searching for the wife who left him over a decade ago and the daughter he's never met, and a nurse seeking a divorce from the husband she hasn't seen in two years.

NR, China, 2007, 108 minutes. In Mandarin with English subtitles
