in my opinion, most award-winning chinese films at international film events are likely to be indie or artistic ones, instead of genre films. in the case of black coal, thin ice, the golden bear prizewinner at the berlin international film festival in february, my guess was right.

在我看来，能够在国际电影节上获奖的中国电影大都是些独立电影或者文艺片，而非传统的类型片。这部于2月柏林国际电影节上斩获金熊奖的《白日焰火》正好验证了我的猜测。

set in the time period from 1999 to 2004, the film tells the story of ex-cop zhang zili (liao fan), now an alcoholic security guard, and his ex-partner. when a series of familiar-looking murders begins, they decide to follow up on a previous investigation of similar murders that ended their careers and shamed them.

该片将时间背景设定在1999至2004年之间，故事围绕从警局煺役后，终日以酒度日的保安张自力(廖凡饰)和他昔日的同事展开。在一系列熟悉的连环谋杀案发生之后，二人决定重新调查之前断送他们警察生涯，令他们蒙羞的一个类似案件。

the unadorned, unflattering and raw portrait of a mid-size town in winter in north china, all frozen and covered in thick layers of snow, is what i like most about the film. it provides a perfect setting for such a mystery story.
