À propos de ce film

Held in solitude for eighty-one days against his will, world-famous artist Ai Weiwei returns home under house arrest to face an onslaught of journalists, art world luminaries, and his family. An incredibly personal portrait, “Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case” chronicles Weiwei’s year-long battle against the Chinese Government and a trumped-up tax-evasion lawsuit dubbed ‘The Fake Case’. Heavily censored and monitored by police, a shaken Ai Weiwei must fight to not only maintain his freedom of speech, but also his name, legacy and - ultimately - the greater Chinese culture.

Notes et avis

This is extraordinary. What's really great art in a documentary is that this is a movie! No talking heads, no narration. I love Ai Wei Wei, and saw a fantastic movie. It is definitely a MUST SEE.

I love what he stands for:)

Brilliant
