From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frozen (Chinese: 极度寒冷; pinyin: Jídù hánlĕng) is a 1997 Chinese film by director Wang Xiaoshuai. The film was originally shot in 1994, but was banned by Chinese authorities and had to be smuggled out of the country.[1] Wang was forced to use the pseudonym "Wu Ming" (literally "Anonymous") while making this film.
Post-production of the film was done in The Netherlands.
The film, supposedly based on a true story, follows a young performance artist, Qi Lei, who attempts to create a masterpiece based around the theme of death. After two "acts" where he simulates death, he decides that his final act will be a true suicide through hypothermia.
- Jia Hongsheng as Qi Lei, a performance artist who decides to make his own death his final work.
- Ma Xiaoqing as Shao Yun, Qi Lei's girlfriend.
- ^ Perhaps as a result of this long gestation time between production and release, various sources treat the film as anything from a 1994 to a 1997 film.
