Review of Chung Kuo: China (1972) by Kevin L — 09 Apr 2008
In terms of film, not necessarily the greatest work. But in terms of actual cultural significance, extremely high. It was the western world's first view of China in 72 and it was depicted as a struggle and oppression for the people.
Funny enough, it was the Chinese government that commissioned Antonioni thinking he was a socialist. Luckily as a reflection of changing times, this film was shown in China in 2004. Hopefully this film will now represent hope and change in the mainland.
