MAN IN BLACK
France, USA, UK, 2023, 60’
Directed by: Wang Bing
Participate: Xilin Wang
Wang Shilin, 86, is one of China’s most important contemporary classical composers. The film depicts the body and soul of a man marked by a life of suffering, a “man in black” who is still capable of deep and sincere compassion. Through excerpts from his symphonies, he relives some of the terrible events that still live in his memory, as testimony to an era that saw the dehumanization of China.
