Ash is Purest White (2018)
It’s 2001 in the northern Chinese town of Datong where Bin lords over the local mahjong parlor like he’s a Hong Kong kingpin. Romantically drawn to him, Qiao plays her part as Bin’s loyal moll—including taking a five-year prison sentence for him. When Qiao gets out, she journeys back to Datong across a radically transforming China and is forced to adapt to new realities confronting her. Writer-director Jia recasts familiar themes in gripping generic terms.
