L’ Argent du charbon
In Marx’s eyes, nothing was more deceptive than commodities. The obvious material appearance of an object concealed a social relationship, whose main characteristic was to appear to men in an inverse mode. If only due to the composition of his shots, in length and depth, Wang Bing is Marxist. At the wheel of their articulated trucks, the drivers that criss-cross China to supply the cities with coal seem to be the masters of their own destiny, triumphant figures of the self-employed entrepreneur. Yet their route is fraught with pitfalls: from dust on the mines’ service roads to the poor state of the highways, from transit taxes to the mercenary fines imposed by the police, from the price of petrol to the middle-man’s double game. Coal gold flows copiously, but always for other people. (Yann Lardeau)
Né en 1967 dans la province du Shaan Xi, il fait des études de photographie à l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Luxun puis à l’Ecole de cinéma de Beijing. En 1999, il commence le tournage, qui durera quatre ans, de À l’Ouest des rails, un film documentaire sur le démantèlement du site industriel de Shenzen, qui lui vaudra une reconnaissance internationale. Il réalise ensuite Fengming, chronique d’une femme chinoise (2007), sur la Révolution Culturelle à travers le portrait d’une femme. Crude Oil (2008), son dernier film, reprend le format monumental qui lui est propre.
