Description: “A gloriously cinematic documentary of epic, poetic sadness.” Variety
The Three Gorges Dam, the gargantuan and hotly contested symbol of the Chinese economic miracle, provides the epic and unsettling backdrop to this dramatic and disquieting documentary on life inside the 21st century Chinese dream. Stunningly photographed and beautifully composed, the film juxtaposes the sharply observed details of a young woman’s job on a river cruise ship against the ominous forces at work around her. (Yung Chang, 2007, 94 min.)
