Xie Jin | Zavvi’s A to Z of Directors

Perhaps little-known to western audiences, legendary Chinese director Xie Jin nonetheless deserves his place on the Zavvi A to Z of directors. One the most influential of the so-called 'Third generation' of Chinese directors, Xie first came into the public eye with the release of his movie Woman Basketball Player No. 5 in 1957, which was the first colour sports movie filmed after the formation of the People's Republic of China. 25888
