Review of Red Sorghum (1988) by Yuen Cheng L — 05 Oct 2009
Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" is better remembered as a loose collection of set-pieces rather than a straight-forward narrative. This can be seen as a fault, but the way the story is told within said set-pieces is very compelling.
Zhang's previous experience as a cinematographer is evident in the film's dazzling Cinemascope compositions and shrewd colour filtering.
