Beijing Flickers

Zhang Yuan / CinemAsia / China / 2012 / 96 mins
China’s prosperity may have enriched some people, but not others, and certainly not San Bao and his friends. In the latest film from controversial filmmaker Zhang Yuan, the displaced youth of Beijing may be down and out, but they find solace in a makeshift family—one another. With short Shanghai Strangers.
