Synopsis
Shanghai's skyline glimmers at night, dominated by towering skyscrapers. Chantal Akerman's 2007 film, part of the collective project 'L’état du monde,' captures this vibrant urban scene through extended shots. A floating boat, adorned with large video displays, features familiar images, including Da Vinci's 'La Gioconda.' The film contrasts modern consumerism with the city's rich cultural heritage, prompting reflection on the relationship between art and commerce in a rapidly evolving metropolis.
