Pratfalls abound in the earliest extant Chinese film which revolves around a carpenter-turned-fruit seller (Zheng Zhegu) striving to impress a doctor (Zheng Zhengqiu) in order to marry his daughter (Yu Ying). The need for social mobility and the cultural significance of filial piety provide the impetus for a charming piece of silent slapstick in th...
A comedy of manners ensues when the white lies told by a Shanghai housewife (Jiang Tianliu) to help family members instead disrupt her marital and financial stability. This bittersweet take on middle-class follies is adroitly scripted by renowned novelist and essayist Eileen Chang, although her satirical tone was reportedly tempered by director San...
Bureaucratic authoritarianism is skewered when the simple task of finding a missing chess piece threatens to scupper a major construction project due to misunderstanding and paranoia. Huang Jianxin’s sly satire is positively Kafkaesque in illustrating the problematic convergence of business and ideology, while the droll humor is complemented by mat...
A loose-limbed hangout movie wherein three underachievers (Zhang Guoli, Ge You, and Pan Hong) start a company that solves other people’s personal problems with clients ranging from a cuckolded husband to an underappreciated writer. Terrific chemistry between the leads and a freewheeling vibe ensures enjoyable hijinks around the bustling streets of ...
Given that Zhang Yimou rarely dabbles in comedy or contemporary narratives, Keep Cool is an invigorating outlier. It’s the atypically frenetic tale of a bookseller (Jiang Wen) whose attempt to win back his ex-lover (Qu Ying) infuriates both her nightclub owner boyfriend (Liu Xinyi) and the hapless bystander (Li Baotian) who is unwittingly dragged i...
Feng Xiaogang’s knack for popular humor has made him one of China’s most successful directors. This chucklesome outing concerns a coach driver (played with customary everyman charm by Feng’s regular leading man Ge You) whose efforts to extort overdue wages from his boss (Fu Biao) get increasingly elaborate when the tight-fisted enterpriser refuses ...
Ning Hao followed up his madcap breakthrough feature Crazy Stone 疯狂的石头 (2006) with this riotous farce wherein a disgraced professional cyclist (Huang Bo) gets embroiled with a drug smuggling operation. Totally wacky and breathlessly paced, it’s a prime example of “shanzhai comedy” which pilfers from copious sources to create a unique variation.
This uproarious travel comedy became such a box office phenomenon that it prompted an industrial shift from lavish historical spectacle to lighthearted fare. Director-star Xu Zheng mines broad belly laughs from anticipated cultural differences but makes sure to stay on the right side of Thailand’s tourist board by incorporating local festivities an...
A sparsely populated industrial town in northeastern China becomes a stage for absurdity in this offbeat black comedy. Utilizing framing devices that recall Aki Kaurismäki and a cast of non-professional actors, Geng Jun has a sketchy soap salesman, a Buddhist monk, a Christian simpleton, and a pair of local cops crossing paths in delightfully deadp...
When participants in a corporate team-building exercise find themselves stranded on a desert island, conflicting attitudes see them splintered into two camps. In his directorial debut, comedy star Huang Bo uses a survival story premise as the springboard for an acerbic and visually imaginative allegory for the shortcomings of communism with capital...
