A Touch of Sin (2013)

Other name: 天注定 Tian Zhu Ding

Description

The film tracks four characters separated by geographical and social lines whose lives are impacted by modern China’s economic boom, with violent repercussions. An angry miner revolts against the corruption of his village leaders. A migrant worker at home for the New Year discovers the infinite possibilities a firearm can offer. A pretty receptionist at a sauna is pushed to the limit when a rich client assaults her. A young factory worker goes from job to job trying to improve his lot in life. Four people, four different provinces. A reflection on contemporary China: that of an economic giant slowly being eroded by violence.
