Dirt (1994 film)
Dirt is a Chinese film from 1994 which depicts the nascent rock music scene of Beijing. It is considered an important example of the Sixth Generation movement that emerged in China after the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
Dirt was filmed on a shoestring budget and was funded primarily by lead actress, Kong Lin. Dirt is often compared with another major sixth generation film about the Beijing rock scene, Zhang Yuans Beijing Bastards. In contrast to that films underground status, however, Guan Hu paid nearly US2000 for state studio affiliation, allowing the film to be distributed in China and screened abroad with approval from state regulators.The film follows a nurse, Ye Tong Kong Lin, who also serves as the films narrator. One day, Ye Tong reunites with some childhood friends, including Peng Wei, a disillusioned and longhaired young man who leads a local rock band. Ye finds herself attracted to Peng Weis lifestyle, despite the admonitions of her police officer friend, Zheng Weidong. When Zheng is injured by a mutual friend, Ye finds herself increasingly attracted to the straitlaced Zheng, while also finding herself attracted to Peng. ........
