Asia Cine-Club: Raise the Red Lantern 大红灯笼高高挂 (China)🗓 Tuesday, March 3 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Zhang Yimou’s Raise the Red Lantern is a meticulously controlled historical drama set within the confines of a wealthy household in 1920s China. Following a young woman forced into concubinage, the film examines power, ritual, and repression through rigid social hierarchy.
Formally precise and visually sumptuous, it uses repetition and ceremony to expose how tradition becomes a mechanism of control. The film cemented Zhang’s international reputation and remains one of the most acclaimed works of modern Chinese cinema.
“A masterpiece of visual storytelling.”
— Roger Ebert
“A haunting, visually stunning drama that explores power, ritual, and oppression.”
— Rotten Tomatoes
