Jia Zhang Ke's haunting minimalist drama Still Life (aka Sanxia Haoren) takes as its focal point the real-life construction of the Three Gorges Hydro Project and it accompanying massive dam over the Yangtze River in China (allegedly the largest manmade dam in the world) -- a project that required engineers to flood the surrounding territories, including the two millennia-old city of Fengjie. Jia interweaves two stories in connection with the geographical transformation of that area. In the first, Han Sanming (Han Sanming), a miner from northern China, revisits the vicinity after a 16-year absence and attempts to find his wife and his adult daughter -- trying to locate them at addresses that now exist underwater. In the second story, nurse Shen Hong (Zhao Tao) also returns to the site of Fengjie and scours the area for her husband, who has been estranged from her for two years, and who, it seems, has become consumed by the work and lifestyle of an executive. The marriage, it turns out, is irreparable. Meanwhile, as a documentary-style backdrop to these stories, the old structures of Fengjie are continually destroyed -- walls brought to crumbling heaps, towers blown to bits -- and new, makeshift structures installed as replacements. The film thus becomes a sad-eyed meditation on the nature of social change and progress, but it is one that requires the audience to extract these deeper themes and tropes on its own, via inference and deduction. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Sanxia Haoren (Still Life)
New Review For Movie Sanxia Haoren (Still Life)
More than a million people have been displaced in central China in the cause of generating electrical power to meet the needs of the future; Jia's flowing river of a picture washes over a few of them as they adjust to life's currents in the present.
Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly

An extraordinary glimpse into the psychology, subtext and austere reality of modern Chinese culture.
Ted Fry-Seattle Times

Never has destruction looked more beautiful than the demolished buildings in Jia Zhang-ke's Still Life.
G. Allen Johnson-San Francisco Chronicle

Writer-director Jia Zhangke is a keen observer of the effects of the break-neck modernization that is stampeding China toward a future that no one can predict, control, or contain.
Jonathan F. Richards-Film.com

Jia Zhang-ke is a new auteur making his mark. Embraced abroad on the international festival circuit, if less welcome on screens in China, this writer-director works in a genre that could be called globalist.
Bill Stamets-Chicago Sun-Times

Still Life is the first great film of the year. It's beautiful but so much more--full of subtle feeling, framed by a monstrous, eroding landscape.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune

A lyrical pic that brilliantly blends together documentary and fantasy to paint an evocative picture of modern China that is free from the usual Red Chinese propaganda.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Observant and acts as a record of the inevitability of change, even ones mandated not by nature but by the government.
Jeffrey Chen-ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Playful and moody, naturalistic and surreal, Still Life is a film not to be missed.
Christopher Long-Movie Metropolis

The despondent tone is lifted by moments of hope and, surprisingly, hilarity.
Patrick Peters-Empire Magazine

Still Life is a moody undertaking, with little action but plenty going on.
Liz Braun-Jam! Movies

Jia Zhang Ke is perhaps the most distinctive director working in China now.
Wendy Ide-Times [UK]

Still Life is all about these common people existing in a world that seems more and more unreal
Chris Cabin-Filmcritic.com

Simply one of the best films of last year, this year, or any year likely to come.
Scott Foundas-L.A. Weekly

Director Jia Zhang-ke sees the urbanization of China through the eyes of the relocated laborers.
Bill White-Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Jia has taken supposedly naturalistic approach to filmmaking and, here at least, uses amateur actors and other fresh faces. A few of these newcomers are stiff and appear to be uncomfortable on camera.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City

The rising waters of the Yangtze become a melancholy backdrop for a diaspora in which people try to establish some connection in a place where their old lives literally are being washed away.
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune

Richly rewarding to those willing to roll with its deliberate rhythms.
Stan Hall-Oregonian

Jia chose a great setting, but don't give him too much credit
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit

As much an exploration of emotional and cultural problems in modern day China, as it is the tale of one man's lost love.
Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film

A dazzling package, filled with award-worthy cinematography and pacing.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid

Contains some of the most inerrant, beautiful compositions you will see in a theater this year.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
