Up The Yangtze

Belcourt Theatre

Add Review/Comment

In China, the Yangtze River and all of the life that surrounds it is undergoing a truly astonishing transformation wrought by the largest hydroelectric project in history, the Three Gorges Dam. Canadian filmmaker Yung Chang returns to the gorgeous, now-disappearing landscape of his grandfather’s youth to trace the surreal life of a “farewell cruise” that traverses the gargantuan waterway. With Altmanesque narrative agility, a humanist gaze and wry wit, he beautifully captures the microcosmic society of the luxury liner. Below deck: A bewildered young girl trains as a dishwasher—sent to work by her peasant family, who is on the verge of relocation from the encroaching floodwaters. Above deck: A phalanx of wealthy international tourists set sail to catch a last glance of a country in dramatic flux. The teenaged employees who serve and entertain them warily grasp at the prospect of a more prosperous future. Singularly moving and cinematically breathtaking, Up The Yangtze gives a human dimension to the wrenching changes facing not only an increasingly globalized China, but the world at large. Dir Yung Chang, China/Canada, 2008, 93m, 35mm
