Ascension
A needlessly beautiful movie that absolutely crushes you in perspective. Following the pursuits of the Chinese dream through the many classes and cohorts of capital, to varying degrees of success. This film pummels you with despair, happiness, calm, stress, grief, and so much more as the world moves at 100 miles per hour. Really delivers home the sheer size of China and the production and waste it therefore seeds. Complicated, complicated movie that is certainly politically charged, the message is bookended quite nicely.
