What she uncovers there starts her down a tragic road paved with lies, seduction, betrayal, and murder. Directed by Roman Polanski, this lush, lyrical, delicate romance garnered even more critical success when it received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Musical Score, and won three for Best Cinematography, Costume Design, and Art Direction.

Forster, and represents perhaps the finest hour for many from the fine cast that also includes Vanessa Redgrave and Helena Bonham Carter.

Da hong deng long gao gao gua (Raise the Red Lantern) screening
2017-06-21 19:30 - 21:34 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Da hong deng long gao gao gua (Raise the Red Lantern, Zhang Yimou, China/Hong-Kong/Taiwan 1991, 124 min., 35mm, Mandarin w/subtitles) as part of the Period Dramas series.
A young, poor college student (Gong Li) is forced to marry the wealthy lord of a manor, and finds herself embroiled in bitter competition for the privileges that come with the lord's favor. The name of director Zhang Yimou is today synonymous with contemporary Chinese action spectacle (The Great Wall, Hero, House of Flying Daggers), but he started his career with a series of critically acclaimed and politically subversive dramas that have established him as the leading voice of the so-called Fifth Generation of Chinese filmmakers. In this film, his already developed acute visual sense constructs a tense environment through controlled use of color, claustrophobic sets, and 1920s period costumes.
