The Sun Also Rises (Chinese: 太阳照常升起; pinyin: Tàiyáng zhàocháng shēng-qǐ) is a 2007 Chinese film directed, produced and co-written by Jiang Wen. It stars Joan Chen, Anthony Wong, Jaycee Chan, and Jiang himself. This movie is the polyptych of interconnected stories in different time-zones, shifting between a Yunnan village, a campus, and the Gobi Desert.
The film was screened in competition at the Venice International Film Festival and nominated for Golden Lion but lost to Ang Lee's historical thriller Lust, Caution. It also premiered at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, and was nominated for Achievement in Cinematography at the 2007 Asia Pacific Screen Awards.
