Review of Raise the Red Lantern (1991) by Steve H — 08 Feb 2012
Zhang Yimou's moving character drama about a young woman pressed into a polygamous marriage is a telling thesis about women's rights in the Far East. Gong Li's arresting performance in the lead role makes this one of Yimou's best efforts of his pre-Hero era.
