The Story of Qiu Ju Zhang Yimou, China, 1992; 100m From the director of Raise the Red Lantern, Hero and To Live comes this little gem of a film that tells the story of a poor, pregnant farmer’s wife who doggedly seeks justice for the wrong committed against her husband. Kicked in the groin by the village chief, Qinglai can’t perform normal work functions. When the chief refuses to apologize properly, his wife, Qiu Ju (played by a young Gong Li), seeks retribution through all levels of Chinese authority. “Watching the film, we find the humor for ourselves, and along the way we absorb more information about the lives of ordinary people in everyday China than in any other film I’ve seen,” wrote Roger Ebert. The film had its American premiere at the 1992 New York Film Festival and won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
