A Sentimental Period Drama of Modern China
Youth is the latest work by Xiaogang Feng, a well-known Chinese Director with many domestic box office success and ambitious effort to make serious movies. The screen play was written by the talented writer Geling Yan, whose life trajectory closely paralleled with the story line. Both Feng and Yan shared the experience of living and working in the Military Cultural Troupe, a special unit serving the Military with ‘artful’ performances but later largely disassembled as the Chinese society moved to market economy in 1980s. The majority of the stories in the movie occurred from mid-70s to early-80s, which marks a historically critical period of modern China and the youthful years of a generation who are around 60 years old now.

The well crafted production settings, costumes and makeups immediately reset the clock for 40 years and bring you to the late stage of Culture Revolution. The signature dance moves, songs, body gestures, and use of words strongly evoke one’s memory of that time; such rich cultural message unfortunately may be lost to western audiences. The nostalgic sentiment has overpowered many (millions) Chinese viewers for sure. In a sense, it was the Age of Innocence when the youths were largely shielded from dating and selfish motives. However, as the plot developed, conflict arose, things got escalated and people’s fate changed. The movie is unpolitical and intends to tell the story of a group of regular young people limited by their historical environment. Most of the female leads are new faces on screen, whose performance was refreshing and enjoyable.

Overall, the cinematography was done in a lively manner with nicely coordinated music scores. The movie was told from a young lady’s perspective, thus may feel a bit on the feminine side for some. To me, it is beautifully done and quite an achievement.

Beautiful but with caveats
Beautiful period drama about the innocence of youth during china’s cultural revolution within a musical troupe of dancers and performers.

Unfortunately the film was edited because of chinese censorship and therefore the full length of the film was only shown in Canada as an early screening. Too bad the full length never got out on blu ray. And too bad that the scene where they perfomed for the soldiers on top of mountain was cut short can only be seen in trailers today.
