(Sha sheng)
Directed By: Guan Hu
(China, 2012, 109 mins, Digital Betacam)
China’s commercial cinema is still capable of surprises. Guan Hu’s latest frenzied comedy sets an absurd murder mystery in a distant legendary village, where a clownish trickster (Chinese star Huang Bo) subverts, with Rabelaisian gusto, every tradition he can find. Fast, funny, anarchic and just plain weird.
