"This is the ninth feature film of Chinese filmmaker Zhangke Jia, one of the most promising of the "Sixth Generation of Chinese Cinema", and winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival with 'In Search of Life'. Nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, 'Ash Is Purest White' offers an empathetic and melancholy view of the tragedies of criminal life, with spectacular performances from its two protagonists that will leave you mesmerized."
