A Touch of Sin (DVD)

An angry miner revolts against the corruption of his village leaders. A migrant worker at home for the New Year discovers the infinite possibilities a firearm can offer. A pretty receptionist at a sauna is pushed to the limit when a rich client assaults her. A young factory worker goes from job to job trying to improve his lot in life. Four people, four different provinces. Winner of the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival, Jia Zhang-Ke's A Touch of Sin is a reflection on contemporary China: that of an economic giant slowly being eroded by violence.
