The Cannes Film Festival celebrates the resurgence of Chinese cinema after several years of reduced presence due to the pandemic. Peter Ho-Sun Chan's She's Got No Name, presented out of competition, bears witness to this impressive resurgence.
She's Got No Name tells the story of a woman whose suffering becomes the catalyst for a revolution in women's social rights in China. This ambitious film, the biggest Chinese production of the year, required the streets of Shanghai to be blocked for several months to capture the magnitude of this historic moment.
Peter Ho-Sun Chan, a respected director of Chinese cinema, assembles a renowned cast for this project. Ziyi Zhang, an icon of Asian cinema, makes her return to the Croisette alongside Jiayin Lei and Jackson Yee, forming a powerful trio of actors to embody this deeply moving story.
Thierry Frémaux said:"Peter Ho-Sun Chan is a Chinese filmmaker, and the film is called She's Got No Name. It's a film that will also bring Ziyi Zhang back to the Croisette. It's the biggest Chinese production of the year. We've seen quite a few Chinese films come back into the selection process. After all, it's been 3 or 4 years since China was less present in world cinema because of this epidemic, and we're seeing them come back. This is a great popular auteur film from China".
