The director and lead of 'Raise the Red Lantern' reunite for a passionate and beautiful story of a determined peasant woman seeking justice for her husband, who has been assaulted by the head of their village, and must fight her way up through the bureacracy. A brilliant insight into Chinese life and politics as well as a touching drama. Brilliantly directed winner of the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival in 1992. Superb!
