Liu Jiayin and Oxhide

Picture 5

For those who’ve missed it Liu Jiayin’s Oxhide (2005) has been claimed to be one of the most important Chinese films of the past decade. It is a slow art house feature film with an intimate feeling that does offer a reward if you sit through it. Still a film school student, Jiayin was 23 when she made it and last year Oxhide II was presented. She has received several awards for the movies including including the Fipresci Prize at the 55th Berlin International Film Festival for the first one. The films feature herself, her mother and her father playing their respective characters as we follow a piece of time in the middle-class life of a Chinese family through a small number of shots with no camera movements whatsoever. Both stories are being played out in their actual apartment in Beijing. Above a clip from the first scene of Oxhide.
