China is Near (Italian: La Cina è vicina) is a 1967 Italian film written and directed by Marco Bellocchio. It is a satirical movie about the struggle for political power. It focusses on the conflict between a middle class professor running for office as a socialist and his brother, who is a Maoist(WIKI)
In this Italian satire a poli sci professor from a large, wealthy family stirs up turmoil amongst his family and friends when he decides to run for office on the Socialist party ticket. His brother the Maoist tries to thwart his endeavors. Other family members get involved in the struggle for political power, sexual gratification, and money. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide (here)
China Is Near
Carlo, an ambitious member of United Social Party, would like to stand for election, but he is forced to renounce in favour of more moderate and middle-class professor Vittorio Gordini Malvezzi. After becoming the professor’s flunkey, Carlo starts to go to Gordini Malvezzi’s home very often and quickly seduces his sister, Elena, whom he hopes to marry in order to improve his social position. His behaviour makes his girlfriend Giovanna jealous, who reacts, becoming Vittorio’s lover. When Elena gets pregnant with Carlo’s child, the two ex-fiancées, now free to start their social climbing, blackmail Vittorio and Elena, and force them to reparative gestures. In the meanwhile, extreme left wing tries in vain to oppose the system boycotting electoral meetings.(here)
China Is Near
Italy (1968): Comedy
108 min, No rating, Black & White
Also known as LA CINA ?VICINA.
A witty, subtly freakish modern comedy about sex and politics, directed by the prodigiously talented 27-year-old Marco Bellocchio in a fluid style that is full of surprises. Bellocchio's characters are as much a private zoo as Bu駏el's; the five principals, who are so awful they're funny, use one another in every way they can, with the film structured like a classic comic opera. (It has the intricacy and the boudoir complications.) Among the five are a pair of working-class lovers-a secretary and a Socialist functionary-who scheme to marry into the rich landed gentry. Their targets are a pot-bellied professor (Glauco Mauri), who is running for municipal office on the Socialist ticket, and his sister (Elda Tattoli), a great lady who lets every man in town climb on top of her but won't marry because socially they're all beneath her. The fifth is the younger brother in the rich household-a prissy, sneering 17-year-old Maoist (who provides the title when he scrawls "China Is Near" on the walls of his brother's campaign headquarters). As the pairs of lovers combine and recombine and the five become one big, ghastly family (with a yapping little house pet as an emblem of domesticity), Bellocchio makes it all rhyme. The camera glides in and out and around the action; it moves as simply and with as much apparent ease as if it were attached to the director's forehead. The script is by Bellocchio and Elda Tattoli (she was also the art director); cinematography by Tonino Delli Colli; music by Ennio Morricone; produced by Franco Cristaldi. In Italian.

有着“偶像破坏者导演”之名的意大利导演马可·贝洛奇奥,1965年执导了他的第一部故事片《怒不可遏》(Fist in His Pocket),这部严厉的政治寓言片,和贝纳多·贝托鲁奇(Bernardo Bertolucci)的《革命前夕》(Before the Revolution)一起被宣布为意大利电影业新纪元的开山之作。
贝洛奇奥此后的影片,多以哗众取宠的意大利政治讽刺片著称,1967年的《中国已近》(China Is Near)和1971年的《因父之名》(In the Name of the Father)继续批判了传统的社会体制,但影片激起的评论远没有处女作那么强烈热情。1986年的《肉体的恶魔》(The Devil in the Flesh)改编自Raymond Radiguet1946年的经典小说,影片对口交的直白描写在当时引发了不小的争议。
