If you loved Shadow, try Ju Dou
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 Shadow, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ju Dou is
Ju Dou sneaks into a cruel uncle’s household. His new bride endures beatings for her barrenness but he fathers her son. Together they spin a brittle web of silk and shame. A wife and lover in red who turn rage into color.
