King of the Children (1987)

£0.00

(Hai zi wang)


Country: CHI
Technical: col 107m
Director: Chen Kaige
Cast: Xie Yuan, Yank Xuewen

Synopsis:

A young peasant during the Cultural Revolution is, without any real education or training, tasked with the job of teaching the village children.

Review:

A powerful film about the process of starting from scratch, the state clearly wanting nothing from the old regime to survive. And yet it shows how doomed any attempt is to stifle the human urge to self-expression, which ultimately leads to the elevation of the particular rather than the communal.
