Sunday Cinema: China is Near

on BBC Two England

starring
Glauco Mauri Elda Tattoli
Paolo Graziost with Daniela Surina Pierluigi Apra China is Near (the Maoist slogan painted on walls and posters throughout Italy) is a hilarious and ironic satire on contemporary Italian society.
As a protest against his provincial Italian middle-class family, Camillo has joined a Maoist group. The encounters of his highly conventional brother and sister with certain working-class elements provide some political - as well as romantic - complications.
A film with talent (NEW YORK TIMES) A clear triumph (NEW YORKER) Fantastically interesting! (NEWSWEEK) Screenplay by ELDA TATTOLI and MARCO BELLOCCHIO
