Chloe Zhao's 'Nomadland' Cleared for China Release - Hollywood Reporter
The neo-Western's pacing and themes would usually make for a challenging fit for China's commercially driven film market, but the director's Chinese origins — and the acclaim her work already has received — have generated excitement among some Chinese film buffs.A source at one of the exhibitors that backs the NAAC told The Hollywood Reporter Tuesday that the film has received official permission for a limited release, but an exact date hasn't been set.Past releases by the organization have included Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri ($10.3 million), Manchester by the Sea ($1.2 million) and Bohemian Rhapsody ($14 million), as well as numerous Chinese and European arthouse films.
Based on Jessica Bruder's 2017 nonfiction book, Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century, Nomadland is Zhao's third feature film, following the critically acclaimed Songs My Brothers Taught Me and The Rider.© 2021 The Hollywood Reporter, LLC
