So, 'China. The Arts – The People' is pretty fascinating as a travelogue. It really captures the essence of 1980s China through Ottinger’s lens. I mean, the way she weaves together scenes of Sichuan opera and the everyday sounds of life, like bicycle bells, creates this unique atmosphere. It’s not just a straightforward documentary; it feels more like a personal exploration. The pacing is relaxed, allowing you to soak in the cultural details. And while the director's name might not be known, the film distinctly reflects an inquisitive spirit, diving into the arts and crafts of the people. A solid piece for anyone interested in how art intersects with daily life in such a transitional period.
