Significance
One and Eight constituted an early collaboration between the graduates of the 1982 class of the Beijing Film Academy (notably classmates Zhang Junzhao and Zhang Yimou).[1] As such it is often considered one of the first films to move towards the more artistic and experimental mentality that is the hallmark Chinese cinema of the 1980s.[2][3]
In particular, the film's focus on humanism and personal conflicts signaled a paradigm shift away from the propagandistic films of the Cultural Revolution.[4][5]
