Review of Raise the Red Lantern (1991) by Dora R — 01 Jan 2011
Elegant staid compositions, flowing rooftops, a hundred shades of red and yellow light surrounded by grey, patriarchy depersonalized with long shots and curtains, Gong Li... The filmmakers seem a bit overeager for their ending, which is out of romantic fiction.
.. Mao is coming, you know.
