This study sheds new light on Feng Xiaogang, one of China’s most successful film directors, through an investigation of how  Personal Tailor (2013)  engages with the guiding rhetoric and ideals underpinning the “Chinese Dream”. The authors demonstrate how the hybrid political–commercial–artistic critique of the Chinese Dream in  Personal Tailor  offers poignant commentary on China’s quest for national rejuvenation during a period when China continues to struggle with increasing social and economic inequalities. By foregrounding these complex tensions between political and economic rationalism, and their intersections with an imagined nostalgia as a key story-telling trope, this study shows how Feng and  Personal Tailor  are expanding the boundaries of contemporary Chinese cinema in a new era of globalized commercial culture.
