Frozen

Frozen is unique - even among Chinese films - for providing a rare look at the avant-garde art world of modern Bejing.A young perfomance artist decides to make his own suicide his last work of art. On the longest day of the year, he melts a huge block of ice with his own body heat and dies of hypothermia.He calls this act of defiance an "ice burial."

Frozen is based on a true story according to the filmmaker, who must hide behind the pseudonym Wu Ming, or "No Name."Independently produced films are strictly illegal in China.This controversial movie provides a glimpse into the underground counterculture that exists in China.
