Incredible photography. A slow but fascinating portrait of a rapidly modernizing China that evokes the mood of bewilderment I imagine many people feel toward it. Full of subtle and not-so-subtle statements about the value of money, technology and alienation, uneven modernization, and the shallowness of modern life.
