Chinese thriller is film noir wannabe
“Black Coal, Thin Ice,&#34; a Chinese thriller that won top prize at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival, is a downbeat noir film with elements borrowed from “Chinatown” and “The Third Man.” Zhang (Fan Liao) is an ex-cop traumatized by a brutal shooting he witnessed five years earlier while on the trail of a killer who left chopped-up body parts in piles of coal. Now on the bottle, with a broken marriage behind him, Zhang works as a coal factory security guard and becomes obsessed with a new case: corpses are being discovered chopped up in the same way but with a bizarre new detail — the feet have ice skates attached. With the cooperation of his former police colleagues, Zhang investigates and becomes fascinated with the first victim’s widow (Lun Mei Gwei).<br /><br />Director Yi’nan Diao incorporates many elements of classic film noir into this macabre murder thriller. Zhang is damaged goods as a cop but becomes intrigued by a series of new crimes. His detective’s curiosity piqued, he dives in head first in an attempt to solve the case on his own and redeem himself. Set in wintry urban northern China, the movie benefits from production design that contributes significantly to the dark tone by its use of frost, fog, and dim streetlights.<br /><br />With a pace that tends to plod, “Black Coal, Thin Ice” uses a gruesome series of crimes as its hook. Once involved, we’re held by the performances, the numerous allusions to classic Hollywood thrillers, a variation on the femme fatale character, and the moody, evocative cinematography.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the Blu-ray release. The unrated film is in Mandarin, with English subtitles.
