Daily life in an impossibly cramped Beijing apartment takes on epic
proportions in this, intimate portrait, with unprecedented access, of a
working-class Chinese family. Boldly transforming documentary into fiction,
Liu Jiayin cast her parents and herself as fictionalized versions of
themselves. Her father, Liu Zaiping, sells leather bags but is slowly going
bankrupt. He argues with his wife, Jia Huifen, and his daughter over methods
to boost business in the shop. A cloud of anxiety follows them into
sleepless nights shared in the same bed. But through the thousand daily
travails of city life, a genuine and deeply moving picture of Chinese
familial solidarity emerges from the screen.
With virtually no budget and boundless ingenuity, Liu Jiayin's eye-opening
debut, shot when she was 23 years old, consists of twenty-three static, one-
scene shots within her family's fifty square meter home. Liu keeps her small
DV camera in claustrophobic closeness to her subjects, often showing only
parts of their bodies as their voices dominate the soundtrack. OXHIDE takes
the microscopic physical and emotional details of a family and magnifies
them on a widescreen canvas.
"The most important Chinese film of the past several years-and one of the
most astonishing recent films from any country" —Shelly Kraicer, Cinema-
scope
"Liu takes the film language of "realism" into an entirely new dimension."
—Tony Rayns, Vancouver International Film Festival
"The most celebrated Chinese debut since Jia Zhang-ke's XIAO WU" —Mubarak
Ali, The Lumiere Reader
Director Liu will be joining us on campus on November 1st to participate in
a Q&A followed by the screening of her most recent film, Oxhide II. |
