Park Shanghai -- Film Review


July 02, 2009 The spirit of "The Big Chill" lives on in "Park Shanghai," which uses a college reunion in a karaoke bar as an occasion for Chinese urbanites to take stock of their lives. First-time feature filmmaker Huang Kai Kevin neither has the budget to deliver a flawless technical package nor the experience to hit all the right dramatic notes. Offering a born-and-bred local's glimpse of Shanghai that is not just full of chic and shiny surfaces, the film's contemporary resonance earned it several awards across China.
