1994 is one in all historical past's best movie years, and one of many contributors to that is Yimou Zhang's historic drama To Live (aka Huo zhe). It follows one Chinese household's journey by tough instances beneath Mao Zedong's rule. This didn't sit nicely with the nation's authorities as they banned the director from making movies for five years.

To Live has stellar cinematography, music and appearing from the likes of Gong Li. It jogs my memory in some methods of Brazil's City of God, as these films each painting painful lives and environments, whereas additionally capturing exceptional magnificence and love.

If you'd be all in favour of a historic drama capturing a few of China's historical past, or in case you simply love movie, keep in mind to observe this one a while in case you haven't already.
