In the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution, an amnesiac woman struggles to regain her memory and reconnect with her long imprisoned husband, in this enthralling and emotional drama from Chinese master Zhang Yimou (House of Flying Daggers, Raise the Red Lantern).
Feng Wanyu played by Gong Li (Memoirs of a Geisha, Farewell My Concubine) is a teacher whose husband, Lu Yanshi (Chen Daoming, Infernal Affairs), falls afoul of the authorities during China’s Cultural Revolution in the early 1970s. He is sent away for “re-education,” leaving Feng alone with their only daughter, a spoiled ballet student named Dandan (Zhang Huiwen). When Lu escapes and attempts to make his way home, Dandan—who had been denied the leading role in a new production due to her father’s branding as an ideological outcast—commits a heartbreaking betrayal. Years later, when the fractured family has another chance to reunite, tragedy strikes when Feng’s mind begins to fail her, and she refuses to accept her now-liberated husband.
Directed by Zhang Yimou
Screenplay by Zou Jingzhi, based on the book by Yan Geling
Starring: Gong Li, Chen Daoming, and Zhang Huiwen
China · Mandarin w/ subtitles Rated PG · 1h 49m
