If you loved Full River Red, try To Live
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 Zhang Yimou. If that's the register that drew you to Full River Red, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What To Live is
A once-rich couple watches their luck curdle under revolution’s slow pressure. Fugui and Jiazhen shear themselves down to bare survival across decades of famine and war. The story stays stubbornly earthbound, content to keep its pain close to the soil.
