"To Live"
1994
Directed by Zhang Yimou
Winner of the 1994 Cannes Palme
d'Or, Zhang Yimou's daring political tale of modern China landed him in
major difficulties with the Chinese authorities. To Live follows a
contemporary family across the turbulent face of modern China, from the
Japanese invasion through Mao's Great Leap Forward and the Cultural
Revolution. The powerful drama is made all the more potent by strong
performances from Gong Li. Mandarin Chinese with English subtitles. 132
minutes. |
