"Platform"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Delightful!

For two hours and thirty minutes we are charmed by a story of the evolution of a small, backwater peoples art commune of young musicians as China emerges from its cultural revolution.

It hardly seems a movie. The players and the camera are so natural and authentic one feels as if watching real life, in real places.

It's a patient, subtle and powerful insight into a time and a people who never occupied the headlines through which most of us know that complex country. No great plots or surprises, just a masterful depiction of youngsters trying gracefully to overcome a spare life and their own little demons.

Featuring The Rock And Breakdance All-Star Band with The Pink Sisters, Mimi and Haha doing The Platform Blues.

The director, Jia Zhang Ke, never falters. This is a rich, detailed, beautifully composed film work.

This one will please even my current nemesis JamesGarvin.

Highly recommended.
