Beijing Bastards
Dir. Zhang Yuan, People's Republic of China/Hong Kong,1993Considered China's first independent film, the also controversial Beijing Bastards depicts the disillusioned youth of '90's Beijing, presenting an underground, grimy, drugged-out, rock 'n roll China rarely seen. A remarkably raw presentation of purposeless lives.
