Behemoth / 悲兮魔獣
China / 2015 / 91 min.
Director: ZHAO Liang
[introduction]
The newest film by ZHAO Liang, whose “Petition” (09) was screened at Tokyo FILMeX, depicts laborers working in the coal mines and steel mills of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Migrant workers from all parts of China come and gather to work in this resource abundant region, but at the same time induce the serious problem of environmental destruction occurring in tandem with industrialization. The movie hurls various issues at the viewer through overwhelming imagery capturing laborers and their surrounding environment presented straightforwardly without relying on narration or subtitles. It can be said the close-ups of the laborers’ faces alone speak volumes. The titular “behemoth” is the name of an enormous, land dwelling monster which appears in the Old Testament.
