Flowers of War - Zhang Yimou
A modern masterpiece from acclaimed Chinese director Zhang
Yimou, Flowers of War is both visually breathtaking and searing
in its depiction of the horrors that
unfolded in Nanking, China, in
l937, when the city was invaded
and occupied by the Japanese.
An American, by the name of
John Miller, seeks sanctuary in a
Nanking cathedral, and becomes
a witness to the appalling crimes
against humanity that are unfolding outside, at the hands of Japanese Imperial forces. Trapped
inside this sanctuary, alongside
Miller, are frightened schoolgirls
and women, and together they try
to survive. Starring Christian Bale.
In Cantonese, subtitled. 2011; 142
min.
