Summary:
In this visionary chronicle of China₂s turbulent new century, acclaimed director Jia Zhangke embarks on a kaleidoscopic odyssey across time and space, incorporating footage captured for his previous films into an entirely original, captivating epic. Drawing on a twenty-three-year collaboration between Jia and actors Zhao Tao and Li Zhubin, Caught by the Tides casts them as a pair of estranged lovers, tracking these characters across an increasingly alien China as they age in real time, from the dawn of the millennium to the COVID-19 era. Observing the future-shock developments transforming his country, Jia constructs a sensorially immersive, emotionally profound portrait of both a world in flux and two people navigating its uncertain currents.
故事以中國北方小城為背景,講述女主人公巧巧(趙濤飾)從千禧年代開始,跨越21年直至當下的情感與人生歷程。巧巧與戀人斌哥(李竺斌飾)在山西省的煤礦城市大同相愛,過著遊蕩、歌舞的青春生活。然而隨著社會巨變與個人選擇,兩人經歷分分合合,愛情在時代洪流中逐漸漂泊。影片不僅呈現巧巧的成長與覺醒,也串聯起基層人物的命運,描繪中國社會在改革開放後的轉型,包括城市變遷、經濟浪潮、文化消費、甚至新冠疫情的影響。
