| Overview: | Frozen is unique--even among Chinese films--for providing a rare look at the avant-garde art world of modern Beijing. A young performance artist devides to make his own suicide his last work of art. On the longest day of the year, he melts a huge block of ice with his own body heat and dies of hypothermia. He calls this act of defiance an "ice burial".
Frozen is based on a true story according to the filmmaker, who must hide behind the pseudonym Wu Ming, or "No Name". Independently produced films are strictly illegal in China. This controversial movie provides a glimpse into the underground counterculture that exists in China.
