LIVING THE LAND (2025) @ Cleveland Cinematheque / Home Bistro

The setting is a rural Chinese village in 1991. Change comes slowly to a peasant family’s ancient way of life as the surrounding nation is transformed into a global economic juggernaut. Here's the trailer “Like a vast 19th-century painting of farmers toiling under the sun…immerses the viewer in a remote Chinese agricultural community with all the precision and beauty of an accomplished artist.” – Hollywood Reporter Rotten Tomatoes: 100% ========================================================================= 6:15 MOVIE at Cinematheque/Cleveland Institute of Art, 11610 Euclid Ave, Cleveland Free parking in the lots with "Cinematheque" signs on E 117th Street (accessible only from Euclid).
