Episode 444: Zhang Yimou
March 12, 1993
One of China's most successful film directors, Zhang Yimou , talks about his life, his work, and his views on China. The stunning photography and quintessential "Chineseness" of his films - from Red Sorghum, Judou and Raise the Red Lantern to the forthcoming The Story of QiuJu - have won him enormous acclaim in the west, and yet have been met with harsh censorship in China.
