Jia Zhangke’s A Touch of Sin is a meaningfully tailored film, from themes of wealth inequality, oppressive institutions, social fabrics, and human decisions, this is a film that on a artistic level I really appreciate, and maybe I’m missing something but as of yet I don’t think I am, I feel like it’s missing something…

I am going to continue my journey with Jia Zhangke, so far overall he’s a very impressive artist that I like a lot.

is the english title for this film a reference to A Touch of Zen? that's clever.

the film description says that it's about "random acts of violence" but idk about that... they are anything but random if you ask me. if anything, it feels like the film is trying to say that modern society (Chinese society specifically, in this case) inevitably leads to situations where violence is the only logical result. the fact that the stories are loosely based on real life events in China only makes that point stronger.

but as much as i love the message, the stories themselves were a bit unengaging at points. loved the bursts of violence though.
