Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Eddy Crouse
Chinese auteur Zhang Yimou's 1994 epic tracks a rocky marriage through the equally perilous historical era of China's Communist takeover. In the 1940s, Fugui Ge You and his wife, Jiazen the ravishing Gong Li, quarrel over Fugui's incredible lack of luck; he loses the family fortune in a Mandarin version of craps. After a humiliating time hawking thread on the streets, Fugui learns puppetry only to be arrested by the Nationalist army. The country's political changes then commence as Fugui attempts to change his own ways, despite seemingly unending hardships that continually threaten his family. Stretching all the way into the 1970s, To Live sports an incredible palette of vivid colors and episodes -- of particular note is a breathtaking sequence of the waning Nationalist grunts slogging it through the snow. But Zhang never loses sight of the structure that he sets in motion from the outset: The anatomy of the marriage is as thoroughly plumbed as anything in world cinema this side of Ingmar Bergman. Gong Li is, not surprisingly, working at her most teeth-clenching and soulful best, though it was Ge You who clinched the Best Actor prize at Cannes.

    Great movie...so great, that I wanted to purchase it. Of course,

    Great movie...so great, that I wanted to purchase it. Of course, B&N won't sell it to me. They obviously have no inventory, even though they claim that they do. I tried purchasing it twice but each time, after several days, my order is cancelled. They claim that  "despite our efforts, we weren't able to fulfill some or all of the items in your order." What does that mean? It's kind of vague and they won't give me an answer. It has since gone on sale, so I tried to purchase it again with the same result. I wrote to their customer service. They have not responded in several days. What a waste of time. Don't buy from B&N. They won't sell it to you anyway!

    Great for school use

    This is a great novel to lead into a discussion on China's changing political environment. I show this as a background before teaching ''Forbidden City'' by William Bell. Subtitle make the student have to watch.
