Platform

(Film, 2001)

Platform

Changing China is the perennial protagonist of Jia Zhang-Ke's cinema. And it is even more so in Platform, where its transformation is made even more evident by the surprise and wonder that the citizens of such a remote and backward village feel at news that is taken for granted by the rest of the world, such as the passage of a train or the arrival of electricity in the village.
