Jia Zhangke completes his documentary trilogy 'Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns Blue' about the arts in China with a look at contemporary writers and the times they lived in. Read the full review here:
Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns Blue
There is nothing controversial here, and the dramas and tragedies that are recounted feel like they belong to the distant past, principally involving personal and family events. Yet a political dimension wafts through the film’s title, which is taken from a twice-told story by one of the writers, Yu Hua, who remembers swimming out past a sea of yellow water as a child and trying to reach the place where the sea turned blue.
Other changes included the banning of arranged marriages. The daughter of a remarkable writer-activist named Ma Feng recalls her father’s evolution from a poor boy to a journalist and youth leader during World War II. He belonged to China’s first generation of educated farmers.
