Synopsis:
Jia Zhang-ke’s new documentary “Useless” is an unusual and beautifully meditative portrait of an artist and her connection to the society around her. One of the greatest filmmakers working today, Jia’s previous fictional features (“Xiao Wu,” “Platform,” “Unknown Pleasures,” “The World,” “Still Life”) comprise a valuable and evocative response to China’s rapid changes and their impact on the population. With a patient, painterly eye, Jia’s vivid characterizations and landscapes possess a mesmerizing, often melancholic beauty, and are less political than humanist in their pointed critiques of China’s current historical trends. Jia has recently turned to documentaries, which prove to be fascinating extensions of his fiction films.
