Western est un film germano-bulgaro-autrichien réalisé par Valeska Grisebach, sorti en 2017.

Il est présenté en section Un certain regard au Festival de Cannes 2017.

Synopsis

L'installation d'ouvriers "détachés" allemands sur un chantier situé aux confins de la Bulgarie et de la Grèce. La plupart d'entre eux évitent les contacts avec la population locale. Seuls, Meinhard et son contremaître Vincent tentent de briser le silence. Le fossé entre les groupes n'est pas uniquement linguistique ou culturel, il reflète aussi les disparités socio-économiques d'une Europe encore inégalitaire.

With each entry into Ning Ying's Beijing Trilogy, the focus has been on a different generation: the elderly in For Fun, the middle-aged in On the Beat and now the youth in I Love Beijing. The film follows the twenty-something taxi driver Desi (Yu Lei) and opens on his divorce proceedings. Finding himself alone, Desi becomes something of a Casanova, and is soon dating a waitress, then a librarian, then a radio talk show host. Each woman, however, lacks something he desires. It becomes clear that despite his serial monogamy, Desi is really a romantic, and wonders when he will find the love of his life in the rapidly changing city he lives in.
