The latest chinese movie is Taxi.What Beijingers really talk about… candid conversations between a young taxi driver and his passengers. (accompanied by a surprise short film)
Beijing, a city rushing toward modernization, is the capital of China. Covered in the mask of the night, desire grows. The taxi, swarming through the city, never seems to pause. A taxi driver, thirty years old, married for 7 years, lives in Beijing. His passion has gone, in a city on its peak time of passion. Passengers are, teachers, doctors, students, merchants, pimps, prostitutes, believers. In spring, the driver says to every passenger, “the sand storm is coming tomorrow.” Summer comes, the driver complains to the passengers that his wife doesn’t love him anymore. The passengers also have their own share of stories of happiness and sorrow. Someone is going through a break-up and it is heart-breaking. Autumn time, the driver tells the passengers that, he wants to be a monk, but where to find absolute peace? Seasons change, the color of the night remains, in which resides the stories of the mix of dreams, desires, and human nature.
