Review of Ju Dou (1990) by Richard B — 15 Jul 2009
Ju Dou is reminiscent of Godfather and Oedipus Rex alike. Brilliantly written, it uses very little dialogue to tell a complicated and layered story. As the screenwriting mantra goes, Ju Dou shows, not tells, the story.
The emotions seem real up until it's dark end. This film is one that has not been seen by nearly enough in the American audience.
