On December 9, 1937, the Imperial Japanese Army laid siege to the Chinese capital of Nanking, beginning a reign of terror that killed as many as 300,000 civilians — an infamous tragedy now referred to as the Rape of Nanking. The first big-budget fiction film by the Chinese to deal with this seminal event in their modern history, CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH is a visceral, heartbreaking portrait of life during wartime, and an unforgettable masterpiece of contemporary world cinema.
The enormity of Lu's achievement is striking, both in the grandness of the film's staging and in its engagement with the chaos of war…[Director Lu Chuan] wriggles out of convention where he can, especially in the first half, and engages with history as an artist, not a hagiographer.Scott Tobias, AV Club
A shattering tale…an important film to seeStephen Whitty, The Star-Ledger
Lu's picture of cumulative inhumanity has unflinching, nightmarish strength.Bill Weber, Slant Magazine
Harrowing and unflinching…City of Life and Death is a cinematic experience unlike any you've had before. It's a film strong enough to change your lifeKenneth Turan, LA Times
A muscular, physical movie, pieced together from arresting imagery and revelatory gestures, large and small.Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post
Chinese filmmaker Chuan Lu has tackled a vast and ambitious subject in City of Life and Death…Lu has used the dramatic form to personalize this story and fashion a powerful, multilayered film that shows what ordinary human beings are capable of in extreme circumstances.Leonard Maltin, Movie Crazy
A drama that could pass for a documentary…Lu Chuan's epic film is harrowing in the extreme…As an act of remembrance, though, it is singular and, in its way, soaring.Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
Among the greatest war films ever made…[City of Life and Death] isn't merely one of the year's best films, it's a powerful work of art and a testament to the expressive essence of pure cinema.Jay Antani, Moving Pictures Network
A startling historical epic, as brilliantly well-made as it is sociologically astute.Scott Foundas, LA Weekly
