In a sure sign that Chinese independent cinema is breaking into the American mainstream, The New Yorker has devoted a feature article to Jia Zhangke, written by Evan Osnos. The article is only available in print – though I will post choice passages once I have a chance to read it. In the meantime, enjoy this video essay produced by The New Yorker that summarizes Jia’s film artistry.
The New Yorker blog also posted a list of books, articles and other helpful resources – impressive but by no means comprehensive. Feel free to leave your own recommendations as well as your impressions of the feature article on Jia in the comments.
