If you loved Red Sorghum, try Hero

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, and they sit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Red Sorghum, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hero is

Ancient China, silk fans fluttering, a calligrapher's brush strokes. A nameless warrior stands before the emperor, his story unfolding with three swords and a promise. Zhang Yimou lensed a nation's birth.
