​Shanghai Bunker Film Club presents

​"YOUTH"

Sunday, May 26th, 16:00

“Youth” (2017), is a coming of age Chinese drama that was selected to play at the Toronto International Film Festival. This film won several awards, including Best Film at the 9th China Film Director's Guild Award and the 12th Asian Film Awards.

Watch the trailer now on youtube or youku. 

-PLOT-

Set in the 70’s to mid 80’s, "Youth" follows a group of idealistic adolescents who perform in the People's Liberation Army art troupe. They experience love, lust, betrayal, and suffering in the background of Mao-era songs and dances.

"Youth” is said to be beautifully heartbreaking, showcasing love and loss in young people during a revolutionary time in Chinese history. It evokes a certain sentimentalism and has been criticized for romanticizing a controversial past. This brings up the question of censorship and what Chinese film makers can and can’t show in their films.
