As a seasoned critic with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the 8th edition of China’s Pingyao International Film Festival promises to be a veritable feast for cinephiles like myself. The restored edition of Chen Kaige’s “Yellow Earth,” a cinematic gem that helped shape the landscape of Chinese art-house cinema, is truly a highlight.
An updated version of Chen Kaige’s “Yellow Earth” is one of the standout films in the lineup for the 8th installment of China’s exclusive Pingyao International Film Festival. This movie played a significant role in establishing Chinese art-house cinema’s global reputation and marked the dawn of a new era for Chinese filmmakers, known as the Fifth Generation, which was launched four decades ago.
