In Memorias de China A boy runs over a little dog, and the deaf girl who owns it hits him in the head. It seems like a bit of an odd start to the film, but from there director Xiao Jiang takes us back to discover the relationship between the two. Also, we will know why the girl is deaf, and we will see all this from rural China, an environment that is widely represented in Chinese cinema .
Homecoming (2014)
Once again, the collaboration between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li brings us a flawless film: I'm Coming Home . On this occasion, Gong Li's husband, now grown, returns home after spending years in a re-education Email Address List camp. When he returns, however, she is no longer in the best condition. A current display of Chinese cinema, which makes us think about old age and everything that, as young people, we take for granted. Check out the trailer below.
10 Years (2015)
With this film we break the line of Chinese films that observe reality and that we had traced so far in this list. 10 Years , filmed in Hong Kong in 2015, reflects through five stories what this city can be like in 2025, when censorship and the Chinese system have imposed themselves 100%. Some say it's a dystopia, but others say it's a future that can be real. So far, it has already won the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards and has been censored in China.
The Wandering Earth (2019)
Finally, we close the list with a trendy topic: Chinese science fiction. The Wandering Earth is based on a short story by author Cixin Liu , who you probably know about The Problem of Three Bodies , which has sold like hotcakes in several languages. In this case, the sun is expanding and the "Wandering Earth" project is trying to take the Earth out of the Solar System to ensure the survival of humanity, although the path will be full of obstacles. Get ready for a good dose of special effects and a science fiction story "with Chinese characteristics". You can find it on Netflix.
