Surprising action on the streets of modern Beijing
9 May 2002
I LOVE BEIJING is truly a mosaic of Beijing today, as seen, mostly, through the eyes of a womanizing taxi driver.

The driver has quite an array of female passengers in his cab and life. The film takes us through "a year in the life." His taxi takes us through his life and this city in total transformation.

The result is an realistic portrait of the multiplicity of contemporary Beijing. I can't think of a better medium or vehicle than a taxi to highlight the tremendous changes in China today, as experienced by the common man, and as seen through the windows of his cab.
