Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It was a box office smash, though it had almost no lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: A natural pick for people who like stories about real, flawed people. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 40 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1913: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The film tells the story of a man and woman who don't know each other. After being matched by a matchmaker, after going through a series of red tape, they were sent to the bridal chamber and began a difficult life as a couple. Despite the primitive shooting methods and lack of training of the actors, the film has a very important place in the history of Chinese film.
