Tian Zhuangzhuang is a Actor, Director, Scriptwriter, Producer, Director of Photography, Production Design and Original Music Composer Chinois born on 26 april 1952 at Beijing (Chine)
Tian Zhuangzhuang (simplified Chinese: 田壮壮; traditional Chinese: 田壯壯; pinyin: Tián Zhuàngzhuàng; born April 1952 in Beijing, China) is a Chinese film director and producer.
Tian was born to an influential actor and actress in China. Following a short stint in the military, Tian began his artistic career first as an amateur photographer and then as an assistant cinematographer at the Beijing Agricultural Film Studio. In 1978, he was accepted to the Beijing Film Academy, from which he graduated in 1982, together with classmates Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou. The class of 1982 collectively would soon gain fame as the so-called Fifth Generation film movement, with Tian Zhuangzhuang as one of the movement's key figures.
Tian's early career was marked both with avant-garde documentary infused films (On the Hunting Ground (1985), The Horse Thief (1986)) to more commercial fare (Li Lianying: The Imperial Eunuch (1991)). In 1991, Tian began work on a quiet epic about one of modern China's darkest moments. This film, The Blue Kite (1993), would eventually result in Tian's nearly decade long exile from the film industry, an exile he returned from with Springtime in a Small Town (2001). Throughout the 2000s, Tian Zhuangzhuang returned to the fore of Chinese cinema, directing films like the biopic The Go Master (2006) and the historical action film The Warrior and the Wolf (2009). Since his banning after the release of The Blue Kite, Tian has also emerged as a mentor for some of China's newest film talents, and he has helped produce several important films for these new generations of directors.
Tian a commencé sa carrière comme un photographe, et aussi a travaillé au studio de cinéma agricole en Chine. Il a reçu son diplôme de l'Université de cinéma de Pékin en 1982, ainsi que plusieurs autres réalisateurs de la cinquième génération, y compris Chen Kaige et Zhang Yimou.
L'œuvre de Tian a causé beaucoup de controverse avec le gouvernement de la Chine, surtout son film Le Voleur de Chevaux; comme nombre des premiers films de Tian, il concerne l'une des minorités ethniques en Chine, ici les Tibétains. Avec Le Voleur de Chevaux, Tian remporte le Prix d'Aide à la distribution 1988 au Festival international de films de Fribourg. Il est le numéro 1 des films préférés des années 1990 de Martin Scorsese) et Le Cerf-volant Bleu, un film au sujet des événements de la campagne des Cent Fleurs, le Grand Bond en avant, et la Révolution culturelle. Le Cerf-volant bleu est présenté au Festival de Cannes 1993 sans l'aval des autorités chinoises, ce qui vaut à Tian Zhuangzhuang une interdiction de filmer de 9 ans. En 2002, il réalise le film Printemps dans une petite ville, basé sur le film de Fei Mu de 1948. En 2004, il réalise le premier documentaire en HDTV de la Chine, un film appelé Delamu, au sujet des minorités ethniques dans le Yunnan et au Tibet.

The Go Master shines a light on the life and times of Wu Qingyuan, pronounced Go Seigen in Japanese. Wu is considered the greatest Go player of the 20th century, his talents bringing him from his native China to a professional career in Japan when he was only a teenager. Based on Wu's autobiography, this elegantly shot and remarkably restrained biopic follows the life of a singular figure, fascinating not only for his genius and achievements in the game of Go, but also for his unique experiences as a Chinese man in Japan during an immensely turbulent period in history. Acclaimed Taiwanese actor Chang Chen (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) portrays the titular role in a subtle, poignant performance that is as penetrating as it is opaque, underlying the brooding lyricism of the film. The Go Master co-stars Sylvia Chang, Matsuzaka Keiko, Emoto Akira, and Ito Ayumi, and Wu Qingyuan himself appears briefly in the film's prologue. Also of note is the film's costume design, which is by renowned designer Wada Emi (Ran, Hero, House of Flying Daggers).
