If you loved House of Knives, try The Flowers of War
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Zhang Yimou, and they sit in History territory. If that's the register that drew you to House of Knives, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Flowers of War is
Nanking, winter 1937, gunfire echoing through streets. A church sanctuary, a group of women, a Westerner posing as a priest. Zhang Yimou's period drama is a tense exercise in survival.
