贾想 I: 贾樟柯电影手记1996—2008

This book is Jia Zhangke's notes on films during the first ten years of his film career, recording his stumbling growth journey all the way. From Fenyang to Beijing, and from Beijing to Paris, and to New York, Jia Zhangke went from the county all the way to the world, and never stopped writing about his county life, and portraying the silent majority's thrilling lives under their calm faces. Facing success and acclaim, he is always on alert, and tries to maintain a free and unrestrained amateur spirit, as well as sheer love of films. Shooting films is the way he is closest to being free.
