If you loved Back to 1942, try Aftershock

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Feng Xiaogang, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Back to 1942, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Aftershock is

Sophie's Choice, without Sophie. A mother must choose which of her two children to save from a deadly earthquake. The daughter survives, but the family is forever split by the decision. Xu Fan's performance delivers the emotional core.
