Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating.
What might put you off
  • It's in Chinese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Set in the period of land reform movement, a poor peasant Zhang gets a fertile land. But he doesn't work seriously on it, then loses money and runs into debt. Song wants to buy Zhang's land but his son thinks that they should help Zhang.
