DESCRIPTION:\n	Dir. Jia Zhangke. 2013\, 133 mins. DCP. With Jiang Wu\, Wang
  Baoqiang\, Zhao Tao\, Luo Lanshan\, Zhang Jiayi. In Jia Zhangke’s candid 
 portrait of contemporary China\, a series of vignettes dramatize the tragi
 c injustices experienced by the nation’s underprivileged workers\, each st
 ory rooted in real-life circumstances. A mineworker confronts the apathy o
 f his local politicians and fellow villagers with an ultraviolent killing 
 spree\; murder and theft become the last resort for a migrant worker who e
 ncounters insurmountable money troubles\; a modest receptionist at a massa
 ge parlor\, threatened by two repugnant petty whistle-stoppers\, attempts 
 to protect her body and pride by slaying the men in a moment of sheer divi
 ne force (exhuming the ghost of wuxia warrior Yang Hui-ching in King Hu’s 
 A Touch of Zen (to which the film’s English title refers)\; and finally\, 
 a teenage boy submits to mounting social pressures with suicide. Shot in e
 xpansive widescreen by longtime collaborator Yu Lik-wai and awarded Best S
 creenplay at Cannes 2013\, A Touch of Sin is Jia’s sui generis entrée to w
 uxia cinema and a fearless\, defiant examination of national tragedy. \n
