Massive applause broke out at the end of the first press screening at Cannes Festival of acclaimed director Li Yang’s extraordinary film “Blind Mountain,” and it was as much for its final act as for the quality of the picture. The film screened in Un Certain Regard. Even though Chinese authorities forced the director to make many cuts before it could be shown in Cannes, the movie retains enormous political impact as well as being a moving drama. It tells what has been a sadly familiar story in China where hundreds of thousands of women and children have been abducted and sold into slavery. Few of them escape or are rescued. The film’s economical style, vivid cinematography and tremendous acting should attract audiences far and wide

A demographic time bomb haunts China today. Den Xiaoping’s One-Child Policy has left too few women available for Chinese men to marry, especially in the less prosperous countryside. Writer/director Li Yang’s film, which received sustained ovations at Cannes, uses this society-wide crisis as the basis for a raw and powerful melodrama. The promise of a decent paying job lures the naïve, ingenuous Bai Xuemei (beautifully played by Huang Lu in her screen debut) to a desolate farming village in Northern China. Once there, she discovers she’s been sold into a marriage that is essentially slavery. Her desperate efforts to find help escaping the village and the brutal family holding her captive disclose an ironic pattern of interlocking injustices. Bai’s destiny, including a last minute act of resistance, symbolizes an entire society caught in the disorienting crisis of radical change. And Li, whose film BLIND SHAFT captured the agony of China’s unregulated mining industry, establishes himself as his country’s most important social-realist director—an Asian counterpart to Ken Loach. ~Larry Gross-AFI Fest
