Description
Cast: Liu Haocun, Zhang Yi, Fan Wei. Acclaimed Fifth Generation Chinese director Zhang Yimou’s (Raise the Red Lantern, Hero, Shadow) masterpiece is set during the Cultural Revolution in the late 1960s. Between two remote outposts in the Gobi Desert, a purloined single reel of 35mm film becomes the prized object in an extended cat-and-mouse game between an escaped political prisoner and a scrappy, orphaned teenage girl.
