(Synopsis)
Blind Shaft gives a ironic vision of the mainland China's inexorable thrust towards 'socialist' advancement with capitalistic characteristics. Two older miners with murder in their hearts entice a young boy into becoming a casual labourer inside a mineshaft.
With the first half hour of the film being a stunning introduction into the dark side of China's industrialisation programme - essentially an expos� of the country's reliance on and exploitation of migrant labour (and management's callous indifference to the plight of workers in the country's mining industry) - leading to a totally unexpected twist ending that can only boost the credentials of director/screenwriter Li Yang.
