Abstract: In probing into the literatured style of contemporary Chinese movies, the present paper starts with the analysis of cases of the 6th generation screen directors.

They tend to be elaborate and specific in subject matter, topic and even in perspective, exhibiting a documentary peculiarity of their own. As one of the characterizations of looking for a change of something new in art, literaturedness has injected vigour into the aesthetic style and technique of expression of contemporary Chinese movies.

Key words: contemporary China, movie, literatured, 6th generation screen directors, style
