In his recent documentary Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns Blue (2020), Chinese director Jia Zhangke once again confirms his delicate and multifaceted writing by bringing together the life and work of writers from different generations and the history of the People's Republic of China. Through the formal aspects of the film, we observe how Jia articulates cinema, literature, painting and calligraphy from a perspective proposed by the landscape. We try to understand this contemplative look through the lines of the ancient Chinese aesthetic tradition and through a sedimentary historical perspective, in order to verify the construction of this rich cinematographic approach on the complexity of contemporary China.
