Review of Red Sorghum (1988) by Lanning : — 15 Dec 2006
Zhang Yimou's first film, as well as Gong Li's first role, and what a fabulous debut for both. The movie starts like Raise the Red Lantern and Ju Dou, but goes in a completely different direction.
The cinematography rivals, if not surpasses that of Ju Dou and Raise the Red Lantern. Some of the scenes are images are shockingly beautiful. Several scenes simply took my breath away. This film has so much vitality, eroticism, and passion.
