À l'ouest des rails

The Twilight Zone meets Blue Collar. Wang Bing trains his lens on Shenyang’s Tiexi district as state-run factories shutter one by one, leaving workers and their families in the hush of empty assembly lines. A black-and-white elegy that locks the camera onto faces while the cranes fall silent forever.
