Xiao Wu
"Unknown Pleasures" is Jia's third feature film after 1997's "Xiao Wu" and 2000s "Platform", and it is sometimes considered the final film of an informal trilogy on a modern China in transition. The film also marked Jia's last production outside of the Chinese studio system. With 2004's "The World", Jia would work with the approval of the state film bureaucrats (SARFT).
