Best Director winner at Venice Film Festival 2012, this Chinese revenge film is inspired by a true crime tale - a poor labourer sets out to claim the head of his brother's murderer.
"Recently returned to his small village in Guizhou province after failing to make a go of it in a boomtown, Lao Tie learns that his brother has been robbed and murdered. When the local police identify the murderer but can’t track him down, Lao Tie takes up the search and returns to the throbbing metropolis of Chongqing. His quixotic journey leads him through bleak slums and illegal mines, where he encounters drug dealers, corrupt cops and violence of an increasingly intense and casual nature…" (San Francisco International Film Festival)
