A Touch of Sin (China, 2013)

The film revolves around four random acts of violence set in vastly different geographical and social milieus across modern-day China, ranging from the bustling southern metropolis of Guangzhou to the more rural townships in Jia's home province of Shanxi. Set in current times and based on allegedly true events from the recent past, the film also draws on the history of wuxia stories.

The violent scenes in A Touch of Sin are so well done that you don't mind sitting through this over two hours long film, and the stories which all take place in contemporary China are not bad at all. Stylistic and with great directing, I found A Touch of Sin to be quite easy to watch despite its long running time. 

Genre: Drama
