If you loved Zen, try Platform
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Zen, 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.
