Movie Reviews of Raise the Red Lantern (MGM World Films)
Movie Review: Too many cooks in that kitchen....
Summary: 4 Stars
A look at male/female relationships in the old times and the options (or lack thereof) opened to women. Yet even in such a dreary setting with limited scenery the cinematography and the costumes were brilliant. The lanterns were truly beautiful. Gong Li played her part well.
Summary of Raise the Red Lantern (MGM World Films)
Zhang Yimou (Ju Dou) directed this fascinating visually formal 1991 film about an educated woman (Gong Li) who is sent off to become the newest wife of a feudal nobleman in 1920s China. Nearly isolated in his spooky palatial home she develops relationships with several of the other wives and slowly becomes aware of a hideous legacy of punishment toward more willful women. The film has a brittle and dry quality that is deliberate but also suggestive of Zhang working through various explorations of his own style (which he resolved in his next film The Story of Qiu Ju). Gong Li one of the world's great actresses is superbSystem Requirements:Running Time: 125 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: FOREIGN/LATIN Rating: PG UPC: 027616082626 Manufacturer No: M108262Zhang Yimou (Ju Dou) directed this fascinating, visually formal 1991 film about an educated woman (Gong Li) who is sent off to become the newest wife of a feudal nobleman in 1920s China.
