raise the red lantern (1991)


a drama directed by zhang yimou
a young woman marries a rich man who has 3 other wives. the wives plot against eachother.
the video was good and in widescreen. the audio was in chinese and subtitles were provided. I'm pretty sure that the only music was performed by the characters. there were short clips of music that were not plot generated at some points, but not very much.
check out: the massages. who orders them from whom. apparently, it must be some type of insult or other social gesture that americans don't know about.
this was a contest of the evil bitches. these women were absolutely brutal to eachother. if you don't mind reading subtitles, it's definitely worth watching. of course, I like films from that part of the world (china, japan, korea, etc.), so I really thought it was awesome.
