In Public (2001) is a concise yet powerful exploration of Zhang Ke's signature themes and visual style. This short film eschews traditional narrative elements such as dialogue, acting, and a linear story. It commences with a series of vignettes capturing the daily commute of the working class, featuring trains and buses. The film then shifts to a train station, where the camera delicately observes individuals, including a disabled political figure seated in a wheelchair adorned with images of Mao Zedong and vibrant red and gold banners. The narrative then transitions to a dance hall, a recurring motif in Zhang Ke's work, where a dance class is underway. The film is both emotionally resonant and strangely captivating, serving as another chapter in the director's ongoing chronicle of contemporary China.
