Best Chinese film of the year!
|
With China pumping out emotionally stunted martial arts farces like The Banquet, Ning Hao's low budget heist/caper film Crazy Stone is a true breath of fresh air. Relying on well-developed characters, a super clever story, and real instances of Chinese culture (such as the glaring economic disparity between the wealthy and the poor), the film succeeds on every level. Taking place in Chongqing and featuring dialogue in the local Chongqing dialect, the film revolves around a precious jade stone unearthed at a factory and the various people who want to get their hands on it - from the three local thieves who spend their days conning people with Coke can lottery scams, to the factory owner's greedy son who tries to impress local girls by speaking in standard Chinese, to the goofily suave international thief who is robbed the minute he sets foot in Chongqing. With tongue firmly in cheek, what follows is a laugh riot as the various characters come into conflict with one another while the factory's lone security guard tries to keep the jade safe. Highly recommended! Despite being influenced by the filmmaking styles of people like Guy Ritchie or Steven Soderbergh, Ning Hao has adapted international styles to create a true Chinese film that is both hilarious and affecting. |
