This strange, incredible movie uses an eclectic mix of languages (including long portions in Chinese, English and French) to convey the undeniably impressive rise of the Chinese manufacturing giant Haier (Which, incidentally, is headquartered in the Chinese port city of Qingdao where a giant statue of the company's two logo "boys" stands in front of the company's main office. The city is also home to China's most successful beer, Tsing Tao.)
The movie, which is stilted but enjoyable, particularly to those who have spent time in China, plays out as an odd but workable mix of propaganda, mockumentary, and over-wrought 80's drama-com (a la Dynasty). Sure to be a treasured cult favorite among zhong-guo based expats.
