Description
Once banned in China, Beijing Bicycle is the acclaimed drama from writer-director Wang Xiaoshuai, which won the Jury Grand Prix Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival. A seventeen-year-old country boy working in Beijing as a courier has his bicycle stolen, and finds it with a schoolboy his age. "Mr. Wang has a graceful, almost classical sense of perspective. ''Beijing Bicycle'' is at once somber and mysterious, comical and sad. It shows just how lonely a crowded city can be."
