'Man in Black' is an audio-visual artwork by artist Wang Bing. The work centres on Wang Xilin, China’s most important modern classical composer. Despite enduring periods of brutal persecution, the film gradually reveals the composer's capacity for deep and sincere compassion - making brilliant use of his musical compositions, as Wang Xilin bares himself, body and soul.
