4.0 out of 5 stars Intense poetic fable on the chess in post 68 China, September 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: King of Chess [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I saw this movie 10 years ago at the Venice festival, and since then I lost track of it. It did not get into commercial circuit, it was never shown on television, but in my memory it remains as one of the most intense & poetic movies I've ever seen. Based on a novel by one of the leading writers of the Peking thaw (end 70s, beginning 80s), A. Cheng, it is brilliant fable on post cultural revolution China, where the ancient art of Chess becomes a vehicle for a personal search of moral integrity. I never understood why the director did not get the same attention as others (Ken Chaige, Zhang Yimou).
