If you loved Shadow, try Red Sorghum

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 Red Sorghum is

Red Sorghum sets up a rural Chinese tale. An old leper's death sparks a change. It ends up a simplistic folk tale.
