Raise the Red Lantern (1991); Wed, Nov 18th, 8:20pm, Film Forum NYC

If you have seen a film by Zhang Yimou before, you know you are in for an amazing visual treat! Starring Gong Li, The film is set during the Warlord Era of China in the 1920s, and tells the story of a young woman who becomes the fourth wife of a wealthy man, and the dense and brutal household politics she finds herself in the middle of. Celebrating its 35th anniversary, This 4K restoration of RAISE THE RED LANTERN is nothing short of magnificent. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and won the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language. Zhang also adapted it and directed a ballet from the source material, for the National Ballet of China. As ever, we will meet up afterwards for food/drinks/discussion! I will be at the theater 25 mins before to say hello, with white hair and wearing a black Criterion logo t-shirt…. Can't wait to see you all. **Please RSVP and buy your tickets ASAP if you are coming... many of our recent screenings have sold out, and people have been missing the event by waiting too long.**
