《山河故人》 / Mountains May Depart

《山河故人》 is a central film reference in EP276 对话贾樟柯(上):一个时代走远,一定是因为另一个时代在靠近你. 贾樟柯 discusses both its closing dance by 赵涛 and the opening disco scene, saying the opening brought the crew to tears because it recalled a familiar youth setting and a song that had been absent for a long time.

The episode frames the closing dance as a case of Film Clip Remix Afterlife / 电影片段二创再流通. Jia does not fully explain why viewers love it, but he points to a tension between the music’s free feeling, a character who ages without leaving her hometown, and the desire for freedom that never fully arrives.
