A girl is sent to marry the owner of a failing sorghum wine distillery. When the old man dies, she must take over the business.

 

Shangdong, China, late 1930s. A girl named Jiu'er is sent by her parents to marry an old man who owns a failing sorghum wine distillery. When the old man dies under mysterious circumstances, Jiu'er must take over the business... and her tenacity quickly gains the love and support of the rough but kind distillery workers. A foundational work of contemporary Chinese cinema, Red Sorghum launched its first-time director Zhang Yimou (Hero, Raise the Red Lantern) and star Gong Li (Farewell My Concubine, Memoirs of a Geisha) onto the world's stage. Filled with "images that will intoxicate your eyes" (Desson Howe, Washington Post), Red Sorghum is presented in a new HD remastered version for the first time in North America.
