Behemoth

Critic's Pick! "A feat of pictorial storytelling… Its haunting power grows in retrospect — as if you’ve returned from a journey and can’t believe what you’ve seen."

"Colossal in scope... Behemoth seems to shudder with the destructive power of invisible, ubiquitous, and cruelly indifferent authority."

"it's powerful declaration of China's corrupt practices, and it's also Liang's masterpiece."

"Four Stars! A beautiful and harrowing movie."

"Stunningly lensed, cumulatively moving. Unquestionably Zhao’s most accomplished film."

"A remarkable, powerful film. Visually, this breathtaking film reminds us, at times, of Sebastiao Salgado’s photographs of Brazilian miners."

"So haunting and poetic are Zhao's images that once seen, they are likely to lodge deep in the psyche of the viewer, to be later excavated and re-examined in dreams."
