Overview

An award-winning, wildly unhinged black comedy of modern Chinese society running amok. Here is China as we've never seen it before, in a sweeping, Rabelaisian panorama of forty years of rough-and-rumble Chinese history, from the madness of the Cultural Revolution to the equally rabid madness of extreme materialism.

Both tragic and absurd by turns, Brothers is a fascinating vision of an extraordinary place and time.
