Review of The Flowers of War (2011) by Antti Q — 20 Dec 2013
Evil Japan invade innocent China, a dozen church school girls and a dozen women from the red light district escape the invaders to a church where a drunkard laowai sees the light and saves the day.. Sometimes very beautiful eye candy, sometimes too jingoistic portrait of the inhumane and brutal Japanese (although afaik really bad sh*t went down there and then).
Not Yimou Zhang's (Red Sorghum, Raise the Red Lantern, Hero, House of the Flying Daggers, Curse of the Golden Flower etc) best works.
