Zhang Yi-Mou's Red Sorghum... by Sébastien Melmoth (Beaulieu-sur-Mer, FRANCE)  5 Stars
June 14, 2009
.
Zhang Yi-Mou's Red Sorghum...
.
(The production description on Amazon doesn't correspond with his film.)
Red Sorghum is the first in the series of fine films by the great Chinese director Zhang Yi-Mou, featuring the lovely and talented Gong Li (cf. Ju-Dou; Raise the Red Lantern; etc.)
The locale is rural China c.1935.
Initially it's a beautiful love story of a sorghum farmer and his bride who eventually develop a successful family business producing red sorghum wine.
However, three quarters of the way through, the film takes a shockingly dramatic historical turn featuring the vicious imperialistic Japanese invasion of China (cf. the Nanking Massacre, Nov.-Dec. 1937). The Chinese peasants try to resist the Japanese who perpetrate crimes of unspeakable inhumanity.
This film has been long coming to DVD, which is a pity for its cinematography is gorgeous.
