His latest film is a sideways take on the crime genre and was a surprise hit in China. As it opens in UK cinemas, Wei explains why he’s working at the edge of reason
A village, a murder and a chain-smoking detective. The building blocks of the gritty new procedural, Only the River Flows, are familiar. But as the mysteries and secrets pile up, this spellbinding Chinese noir transports the viewer into a world of uncertainty that has made it a surprise hit in China. Its precociously young director hopes western viewers will be similarly enthralled.
Speaking via video from Los Angeles, Wei Shujun, a Beijing native, is confident about his work. “There’s no movie where the story isn’t intentional,” the 33-year-old says. But when it comes to the fate of a Chinese film in western cinemas, he is less certain. Attracting international attention to Chinese films is hard, he says: “In mainstream western culture, when you introduce Chinese culture, you have to eliminate a stereotype. Not all western audiences know what’s new in China, or their understanding of China is limited, so their impression of China is a kung-fu film. Some people think Chinese people still have that long braid.” He is referring to the hairstyle, featuring a shaved forehead and a long plait, that was mandatory for men during the Qing dynasty. “There is still a lot we need to do to spread Chinese cinema to western audiences.”
