Beautiful New World - Meili xin shijie - Press Commentaries

?Framed as a genial satire on the rush to mammon in contempo Shanghai ? with traditional Suzhou-style musical group narrating Baogen?s adventures in the big city ? the movie features archetypes that are easily identifiable by western auds but fully grounded in modern mainland life, with no hint of condescension.?
