Weiqi Wonders: Conversations about the Game of Go in China
Weiqi, often referred to as "Go" in English, is arguably the most important game in East Asia, with an estimated thirty million to fifty million players throughout the world. Weiqi is a board game but it is more. It is immersed in more vivid and often contradictory cultural metaphors than any other game in the world. As Chinese politics have changed over the last two millennia, so too has the imagery of the game—from a tool to seek religious enlightenment to military metaphors, one of the noble four arts, one of the condemned “four olds”, nationalism, transnationalism, historical elitism, and futuristic hyper rationality.

Reviews
Good concept, poorly executed.
Expected more
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
