Black coal, thin ice (2014)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2014
Director: Diao Yinan
Actors: Liao Fan
Country: CN
Genre: Polar
Conditions of visioning: 28.04.2014, Teatro nuovo, FEFF2014
Synopsis: A former cop tries to step in back by investigating on a strange murder who dispatches body parts all over coal plants. 
Review: Diao Yinan sets us in a dark atmosphere with industrial cold pictures and behaviours far from the Communist ideal, verbal violence and threats, thieves, etc. The story gets built-up complexely but ends strangely simply. The photography and picture composition are worked a lot but the story lacks of rythm.The acting is ok.
This movie won the Golden Bear in Berlin. Therefore it was surrounded by lots of media.
Rating: 4 /10
