In 2004 we met at the Venice Film Festival, a young Wang Xiaoshuai.
We had the opportunity to talk about the new Chinese cinema and the sixth generation of Chinese filmmakers.
Interview by Dominique Musorrafiti, Matteo Damiani, 2004
China-Underground: You studied painting for a long time, the main character of “Frozen” is an artist. Are there any autobiographical elements in your movies? How much of your roots can be found in your works?
Wang Xiaoshuai: In my films, in the characters, from the point of view of their intimacy, of their attitudes, their spirituality, and their feelings, there is much of me. It is absolutely not said that the plot, the story has to do with my personal life.
