90. The fortune teller (2010)


Country: China
Directed by Xu Tong

This raw and vivid documentary depicts the life of the less fortunate, of the lower Chinese classes that are trying to survive day by day , and their lives are dirty, hard, brutal and governed by superstitions as it were for centuries. Industrialization and modernization of China, the 'economical miracle', very small effect has for a lot of people that are living in margin . Here you can see the real rural China that seems desperately undeveloped. However , although the movie  can be shocking and sad is at the some time optimistic : no matter in how difficult conditions are living , people always show incredible power, a spirit for surviving , are skillful and surprisingly energetic
