SUMMARY:Ash Is Purest White
DESCRIPTION:Jia Zhangke’s extraordinary body of work has doubled as a rec
 ord of 21st-century China and its warp-speed transformations. A tragicomed
 y in the fullest sense\, Ash Is Purest White is at once his funniest and s
 addest film\, portraying the passage of time through narrative ellipses an
 d\, like his film Mountains May Depart\, a three-part structure.\n\nDespit
 e its jianghu—criminal underworld—setting\, Ash is less a gangster mov
 ie than a melodrama. Qiao (Zhao Tao) is the humble yet sassy moll to the s
 waggering but fair Bin (Liao Fan)\, a handsome gangster in a depressed min
 ing town. When Bin’s ballroom dancing-obsessed boss is bumped off\, Bin 
 moves up\, becoming leader of the ‘Jianghu’\, a brotherhood of honoura
 ble criminals. But times have changed and honour is out of fashion\, so wh
 en Bin is attacked by members of a new generation of wannabe mobsters\, Qi
 ao makes a decision that will have a seismic impact upon their lives.
