It is the first film of the Yunnan New Film Project,[1] a planned anthology of ten films directed by female Chinese directors, all taking place in the southern province of Yunnan. It was followed by The Park, also in 2007. The film was produced by Filmblog Media with the support of the Yunnan provincial government. The Case follows an innkeeper, played by Wu Gang, who one day comes across a black suitcase floating in the river, only to discover that it contains a body, finely dismembered and frozen. PlotHe Dashang (Wu Gang) is a middle-aged childless innkeeper trapped in an unhappy marriage in a sleepy city in Yunnan, China. Sleepwalking through his days, everything changes when he spies a black suitcase floating down the river. Retrieving it, Dashang hopes to find his fortune in the mysterious case, only to discover its contents are dismembered human body parts. Thrown into panic, he attempts to hide the contents. Things become even more complicated when a young couple, the sultry Lily (Wang Sifei), and her mousy husband (Wang Hongwei) arrive at the inn. Soon mishap follows upon mishap as He Dashang finds himself over his head. Cast
ProductionThe film began production on May 31, 2006 in the small city of Lijiang, in the Shuhe Old Town district.[1] Heavy rainfall, however, threatened to delay the production until director Wang Fen made the decision to shoot some of the more dramatically intense scenes first, so as to utilize the moodier weather.[1] ReceptionDespite being actress Wang Fen's first feature film, The Case received fairly positive reviews upon its release, particularly among the Western press. Variety for example, called it an "impressive first feature," with special attention being paid to Wu Gang's "marvelous" portrayal as He Dashang, the innkeeper.[2] Other critics, meanwhile, have noted that while the film is an "accomplished and well executed piece of cinema," the ending nevertheless can be "divisive" or at least difficult to swallow.[3] A more technical review from FIPRESCI praised the film director's methods as "something special" in the way they reinforce "an evident theatrical treatment of the subject matter."[4] The Case won the 10th Shanghai International Film Festival's College Students' Favorite Asian Film.[5]References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/yunnan/2006-06/19/content_619977.htm| title = The first film begins| publisher = China Daily | date =2006-06-19|accessdate=2008-03-23}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.varietyasiaonline.com/content/view/1328/|title=The Case Review| author = Elley, Derek | publisher = Variety | date = 2007-05-15 | accessdate =2008-03-27}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://chinafilmjournal.com/2008/03/19/review-the-case-%E7%AE%B1%E5%AD%90/|publisher = China Film Journal|title =Review: The Case | date =2007-03-19|accessdate =2008-03-28}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.fipresci.org/festivals/archive/2007/hong_kong/case_gmak.htm |title= "The Case": A Suitcase As Magical Object|author = Mak, Grace |publisher = FIPRESCI | year =2007 | accessdate =2008-03-28}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/international/news/e3i1d4af5a7ea85ee1bf0fa8be334271eaa|title = Shanghai Film Fest high and dry| author= Trombley, Richard| publisher = The Hollywood Reporter | accessdate =2008-03-23|date =2007-06-25}} External links
