Leave your thoughts about Jia Zhangke, A Guy from Fenyang.
| Brooklyn MagazineMark AschInteresting and valuable for its sense of Jia at low-key ease in almost incomprehensibly different worlds, among aunties, accountants and artists. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaria GarciaAn inspired approach to biography [...] a thoughtful portrait of this gifted artist. |
| National ReviewArmond WhiteAs Jia guides Salles through Fenyang, formerly a prison, and his past shooting locations, and as he introduces old friends and neighbors, the documentary gives evidence of how a director translates personal experience and political perspective into film. |
| Film ExperienceGlenn DunksIt has a humble simplicity to it that is befitting a director whose works are so often about the disenfranchised and those who struggle amid their surroundings. |
| MUBINathanael HoodA portrait of an artist realizing he's come as far as he can go making the kind of movies he's spent decades making. |
