24 City (Chinese: 二十四城记/二十四城記; literally: The Story of the 24 City) is a 2008 film directed and co-written by Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhangke. The film follows three generations of characters in Chengdu (in the 1950s, the 1970s and the present day) as a state-owned factory gives way to a modern apartment complex. The film was also known as The Story of 24 City during production.[1] The apartment complex featured in the film is an actual development (also called "24 City") built on the former site of an airplane engine manufacturing facility.[2] Jia will also produce a documentary about the location.[3] The film's narrative style is described by critics as a blend of fictional and documentary storytelling, and it consist of five authentic interviews and four fictional scenes delivered by actors (but presented in a documentary format).[4] 24 City was in competition for the Palme d'Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.[5] [edit] ReceptionThe Hollywood Reporter called the film a "moving elegy to modern-day China" and described the film's documentary strain as "prevails to simple, yet emotionally reverberating effect".[6][7] Time magazine reviewed the film favorably and described "the film interweaves the political overview — of a city institution being torn down to be replaced by commercial and residential buildings — with personal anecdotes that are poignant and charming."[8] Screen International states "the latest chapter in Jia Zhangke's chronicles of modern Chinese history is certain to reinforce the director's status as an international arthouse icon."[4] The New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis gave the film a rave and stated "...the often amazing and intricately structured “24 City,” the latest from the Chinese director Jia Zhang-ke...shot in digital so sharp it looks hyper-real and projected digitally, the movie takes as its point of departure the closing of a state-owned munitions factory in southwest China..."[9] Manohla Dargis of the New York Times furthur states "Mr. Jia is one of the most original filmmakers working today, creating movies about a country that seems like a sequel."[9] Anthony Kaufman of IndieWIRE praised the film and states "Jia's masterful aesthetic remains consistent, mixing documentary and fiction with intriguing results."[10] J. Hoberman of the Village Voice described the film as "so meaningfully framed that it could have been shot by Andy Warhol or Chantal Akerman"[11], and called the film as one of the standouts of this year's films in competition at the Cannes Film Festival.[11] [edit] References
