Still Life


The construction of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River started in 1993 but only finished this year. It has displaced over 1.4 million people. Once the US-built dam was in place, huge areas of land, towns, and villages were to be flooded. Still Life tackles villagers lives after the flood.

     If you have never seen a Wong-Kar Wai film, you've missed out. The pairing of Wai behind the camera and Christopher Doyle as his frequent cinematographer has yielded some of the most visually stunning films in either's career. This film now gets the criterion treatment with all the bells and whistles.
