Acclaimed director Jia Zhangke (Platform, Unknown Pleasures) casts a compassionate eye on the daily loves, friendships and desperate dreams of the twenty-somethings from China's remote provinces who come to live and work at Beijing's World Park. A bizarre cross-cultural pollination of Las Vegas and Epcot Center, World Park features lavish shows performed amid scaled-down replicas of the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, St. Mark's Square, the Pyramids and even the Twin Towers. From the sensational opening tracking shot of a young dancer's backstage quest for a Band-Aid to poetic flourishes of animation and clever use of text-messaging, Jia pushes past the kitsch potential of this surreal setting̶a real-life Beijing tourist destination. The Village Voice called Jia Zhangke "the world's greatest filmmaker under forty," and THE WORLD is his funniest, most inventive and touching work to date. (Zeitgeist Films)
