Getting Home (Luo ye gui gen)
(Directed by Zhang Yang/China/2008)
In this soulful and humane comedy, Zhao, a middle–aged construction worker, struggles to fulfill a dying co–worker’s last wish to be buried in China’s Three Gorges region. Setting out with his colleague’s body in tow, Zhao travels hundreds of miles across extraordinary countryside, encountering a number of colorful adventures and characters —and even discovering love in some unlikely quarters. Director Zhang Yang’s humorous and moving tale of friendship offers a powerful, and sometimes slapstick, commentary on the value of community and human connectivity in modern China.
In Mandarin with English subtitles.
WINNER: Berlin Film Festival Ecumenical Jury Prize
“Simply put, Getting Home is one of the best Chinese films of the year.”
