Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
9 hour long film that details the slow decline of Shenyang’s industrial Tiexi district, an area that was once a vibrant example of China’s socialist economy. This second part follows the families of many of the workers in an old state-run housing block, “Rainbow Row.”
Next in Wang Bing’s monumental, nine-hour documentary is Remnants, a compassionate, patient portrait of the teenagers living in the Rainbow Row neighborhood of Shenyang, China. An integral pinnacle of achievement in this great documentarian’s extraordinary career.
