The World (DVD) (China Version) DVD Region All

The World is the first government-sanctioned feature by China's 6th Generation director Jia Zhang-ke, whose previous underground works such as Platform and Unknown Pleasures have been widely acclaimed among film critics and movie lovers alike. The film title The World actually refers to the Window of the World amusement park in Beijing. While the park promotes itself as a place for you to travel around the world without stepping out of Beijing, the film revolves around some migrant workers' helplessness of failing to escape from this park to enjoy the freedom in the outside world. Far more dramatic than his previous works, The World is no less critical of social issues and Jia Zhang-ke continues to show his humanitarian concerns in a film replete with animated sequences and extravagant pageantry.

Lovely Zhao Tao, also stars in Unknown Pleasure, becomes Jia Zhang-ke's muse once again. She plays a dancer Xiao Tao in the amusement park who walks around Indian palace, Eiffel Tower, Egyptian pyramids, prosperous Manhattan... and her boyfriend is the chief guard protecting The World. While their seemingly fabulous lives are indeed routine and mundane, Xiao Tao receives a phone call from his ex-boyfriend who is departing for Ulan Bator, a symbol of the outside world in the film…

The World captured the prizes for Best Feature Film and Best Cinematography at the Sixth Las Palmas International Film Festival in Spain and the Grand Prix du Jury at the 11th Vesoul International Film Festival of Asian Cinema in France. It was also chosen as the closing film at the Hong Kong International Film Festival in 2005.

　　賈樟柯解禁後的首部公映電影，北漂一族的生存、愛情、生活……
　　趙小桃（趙濤飾）坐在單軌列車上打電話，她說她要去印度。她以前的男朋友突然來找她，他說他要去烏蘭巴托。
　　趙小桃說的印度是世界公園的微縮景點，她在公園�婺齠R，為遊人表演。她以前的男朋友要去的烏蘭巴托是蒙古的首都，在北京往北的遠方。
　　他們相見，吃飯。小飯館瀰漫的煙霧正好掩飾他們告別的憂傷。
　　趙小桃又坐在單軌列車上打電話。她說她想見他。他是她現在的男朋友，叫成太生（成泰燊飾）。他正在艾菲爾鐵塔上執勤，是世界公園的保安隊長。
　　他們都往在公園�堙A一起工作，吃飯，遊蕩，爭吵。
　　他們都來自外地，在這座城市�堣蛪Q，相愛，猜忌，和解。
　　這是2003年的北京。城市壓倒一切的噪音，讓一些人興奮，讓另一些人沉默。
　　這座公園佈滿了倣建世界名勝的微縮景觀，從金字塔到曼哈頓，只需十秒。
　　在人造的假景中，生活漸漸向他們展現真實：一日長於一年，世界就是角落。
