ICA is closed from the 30 May – 3 June inclusive.
A resplendent centrepiece in Tian Zhuangzhuang’s loose trilogy about ethnic minorities, The Horse Thief portrays a young man being cast out from his clan and left to fend for himself in the mountains with his wife and child. From this simple premise, Tian creates a sublime visual masterpiece that explores the relationship between man and nature.
The film is showing from an original print from the ICA’s UK release in 1987.
Celluloid Sunday is a series of screenings showing on original format from the ICA Archive.
