Youth (Homecoming) (LuxFilmFest)
Wang Bing, 152 min, 2024 - France, Luxembourg, Netherlands. As New Year's approaches, the textile workshops in Zhili are almost deserted. The few workers remaining struggle to get paid before leaving. From the banks of the Yangtze to the mountains of Yunnan, everyone returns to celebrate the New Year in their hometown. For Shi Wei, it is also an opportunity to get married, as it is for Fang Lingping. Her husband, a former IT specialist, will have to follow her to Zhili after the ceremony. The apprenticeship is tough, but it does not prevent the emergence of a new generation of workers. In this last chapter of his Youth trilogy, Wang Bing continues his unique documentation work on the daily lives of young people working in Chinese textile factories, where time is literally consumed by work, and the income is so meager that the future seems terribly congested. An essential film on the woes of capitalism.
