‘QINGCHUN - JUVENTUDE’
de Wang Bing
(2024 House of Fire)
Em 2011, nas fábricas têxteis chinesas de Zhili, as longas horas de trabalho tornam-se dramáticas. A brutalidade policial, as detenções e o medo crescem nas manifestações. Depois de negociações amargas, a nova geração de trabalhadores migrantes regressa a casa para celebrar o Ano Novo e a união familiar.

“While the running time may be indulgent, the experience of feeling trapped in this world is difficult to shake. Shot in a present-tense vérité style, it stitches together micro-stories into a larger narrative in which negotiation can’t undo exploitation. We’re drawn into their world, and that’s what makes the movies so appealing.”
The New York Times
“It’s possible to be slightly overwhelmed by the scale and the social realist detail of the film, which was shot over a five-year period from 2014 to 2019, but the hope and idealism of the young workers is moving.”
The Guardian
"Un chef-d’œuvre."
Le Monde
“Wang Bing ne craint pas la redondance. Il esquisse des portraits, traque ce qui varie dans l’invariable, l’accroc, le trou, l’événement. Si est devenu un cinéaste essentiel, c’est en maintenant une approche étrangère à l’emphase et à la bouffissure.”
