Biography

Lu Chuan sert deux années dans l'armée en tant que secrétaire d'un général. Puis, il va à l'Université de cinéma de Pékin dont il sort diplômé en réalisation. Ses réalisateurs favoris sont Ingmar Bergman, Jim Jarmusch, et Pier Paolo Pasolini.

En 2002, il réalise son premier film, The Missing Gun (Xún Qiāng). Cette production est un petit budget comme son deuxième film réalisé en 2004, Kekexili, la patrouille sauvage (可可西里, Kěkěxīlǐ). Avec ce film, il remporte le prix du meilleur film au Golden Horse Film Festival.

Considéré comme une personnalité majeure du nouveau cinéma chinois, son film Nanjing, Nanjing (南京! 南京!, Nánjīng! Nánjīng!) sorti en 2009 remporte un succès critique et commercial. Ce film dont le sujet est le Massacre de Nankin gagne la Coquille d'or au Festival de Saint-Sébastien en 2009.

La sortie de son quatrième film, The Last Supper (王的盛宴, Wáng Dè Shèng Yàn), qui traite de la Guerre Chu-Han, est bloquée. Les autorités de censure chinoise craignent que le film trouble la stabilité sociale.

During the early 20th century, China is marked by political disunity and a handful of individuals, including Mao Zedong, Li Dazhao, and Zhou Enlai, envision a unified China, especially in the political crises that followed the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, which ended centuries of dynastic rule in the country. After World War I, the Western Allies give Tsingtao and Kiaochow Bay to the Empire of Japan at the Treaty of Versailles, stirring sentiments amongst China's youth, leading to the May Fourth Movement of 1919. In March 1920, Grigori Voitinsky comes to China in an attempt to spread communism to the Far East and, on 22 July 1921, 13 representatives from throughout China meet in a Shanghai's women's dormitory to found what would become the Chinese Communist Party.
