Curiosità

Frozen is a 1997 film directed by Wang Xiaoshuai. A Chinese-Dutch-Hong Kong co-production, the film was originally shot in 1994, but was banned by Chinese authorities and had to be smuggled out of the country. Moreover, Wang was operating under a blacklisting from the Chinese Film Bureau that was imposed after his previous film, The Days, was screened internationally without government approval. As such, Wang was forced to use the pseudonym "Wu Ming" while making this film.

Production

The film proved to be difficult to produce, much like its predecessor. However, the problems that plagued Frozen were far different from the obstacles of The Days. By far, the greatest issue during filming was the content of the film. Several key scenes required actor Jia Hongsheng to recreate performance art, such as soap-eating, and in the film's climax, self-freezing.
