Still Life (2006)

  • Jia, Zhangke
  • 2006, China, Jia, Zhangke
  • 1 Comment

A stunning work of geographical and existential malaise and one of Jia Zhangke’s finest docu-fictive accomplishments, gorgeously shot along the Yangtze River in Fengjie County as a man and a woman separately search for their estranged spouse amid the human impact of the Three Gorges Dam’s construction.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone (2006)

  • Tsai, Ming-liang
  • 2006, Malaysia, Taiwan, Tsai, Ming-liang
  • 1 Comment

Shot in Kuala Lumpur, Tsai’s elliptical style captures the odd beauty of old places that seem devoid of warmth as his array of listless characters try to seek for that elusive intimacy and connection with another human being. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Climates (2006)

  • Ceylan, Nuri Bilge
  • 2006, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Turkey
  • 1 Comment

A slow-burning Antonioni-esque drama with not many words, and a largely effective evocation of the fragility of marriage and complexities of communication.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Children of Men (2006)

  • Cuaron, Alfonso
  • 2006, Alfonso Cuaron, UK, USA
