SACU’s monthly film club is held in collaboration with UK-China Film Collab (UCFC). Dr Hiu Man Chan, SACU member and founder of UK-China Film Collab will facilitate the discussion.
Mountains May Depart (2015) is directed by JIA Zhangke (A Touch of Sin, Still Life, The World).
“Jia Zhangke delivers a picture every bit as ambitious, astute and humane as his previous films, covering three time periods in the life of a group of friends who become family. We open on the eve of the new Millennium and Chinese capitalism is burgeoning. Tao must choose a suitor between flashy Zhang, with his fancy motor and stoic worker Liangzi. The film then jumps forward, catching up with the characters 15 and 25 years later.” (BFI)
