One of the most overlooked film in the past decade, Jiang Wen’s darkly amusing antiwar film Devils on the Doorstep premiered at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival to great acclaim, winning the Grand Jury Prize only to somehow disappear through the cracks with almost no exposure whatsoever. It’s an unlucky happenstance that befalls some cinematic gems every now and then but it’s always a great satisfaction to shed some light on such a powerful masterpiece.
