If you loved Still Life, try Platform
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Jia Zhangke, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Still Life, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Platform is
Famine meets Waiting for Godot in a freezing Sichuan theater. A 1970s troupe survives on thin rehearsal rations while state parades eat the village’s lunch. The troupe’s post-revolution party trick? A human stack whose collapse decides who eats next. Jia Zhangke’s quarter-century time capsule rides on a single communal meal the actors keep dropping.
