9. Ash Is Purest White

Jia Zhangke revisits familiar themes with his empathetic eyes in his gang crime love flick, "Ash Is Purest White," which follows a couple of one-time lovers through the big transformation of modern China. The tale tells a woman who gets sentenced to five years imprisonment for protecting her gang-leader boyfriend in a gang fight, but only to find betrayal and struggles after she leaves prison. It actually is a nostalgic epic romance spread over the period from 2001 until 2018 with complex characters and Jia's routine small-town setting, while using old songs and documentary-style shots to record and observe ever-changing Chinese society.
