New 35th Anniversary Restoration! Presented by STArt Film Studio

The film that put director Zhang Yimou and star Gong Li on the international cinema map follows beautiful young Ju Dou as she is married off to the egregiously cruel owner of a dye mill in the Chinese countryside in the early 20th century. When the boss’ nephew arrives on the scene they fall for each other with lustful abandon. The myriad complications of infidelity lead to a visceral and psychological melee between the lovers and the husband with explosively dramatic turns. With its stunning mise en scène and sumptuous use of color, JU DOU has earned a reputation as one of the greatest Chinese films ever made. – Film Movement!
