Chinese showings at Berlin include:
Lost in Beijing (Ping Guo)
Li Yu's film is about how a rural labourer (Fan Bingbing) navigates her way through cruel and chaotic circumstances in Beijing, signified by a stormy relationship with her employer (Tony Leung Ka-fai).
Tuya's Marriage (Tu Ya De Hun Shi)
Wang Quan'an continues his exploration of the struggles of women in China's rural backwaters. A married woman is forced to seek a new husband to pay for the medical care her disabled spouse needs.
Spider Lilies (Ci Qing)
Taiwanese director Zero Chou Mei-ling's entry in this year's Panorama sidebar section is more of a break-through for her actors than her. Isabella Leong Lok-sze is a tattoo artist who falls for an escort, played by Rainie Yang Cheng-lin (above).
