Production
Filming for Chinese Boxes was filmed in East Berlin during 1984. The film's score was composed by a Stasi informer who also lived in East Berlin.
Release
Chinese Boxes premiered on 29 November 1984 in the United Kingdom. Years later the movie was screened in 2013 as part of Petit's Museum of Loneliness project, also in the United Kingdom.
Reception
Critical reception was generally favorable. Derek Malcolm reviewed Chinese Boxes for The Guardian, commenting that it "looks good and is at least lively". The Independent remarked that the movie was "a quintessential Eighties riddle-thriller with a hint of Godard's Made in USA in its comic-strip flatness: it features a showdown in a paper-pulping yard, a foretaste of Petit's later preoccupation with pulped and discarded culture."
Chinese Boxes has also received a 2013 review from Chris Darke in Sight & Sound.
