Red Sorghum (1987)
“Based on Nobel Prize-winning author Mo Yan’s novel Red Sorghum is a landmark in contemporary Chinese cinema and culture. The film blends the stories of three generations of a family with their region’s journey through feudalism war and revolution while focusing on the struggles of a young woman sent by her father to marry the leprous owner of a winery. She falls for one of his servants in the nearby red sorghum fields. When the master dies she finds herself inheriting the isolated business.”
