Ju Dou (Chinese: 菊豆; pinyin: Jú Dòu; 1991) is a Chinese film directed by Zhang Yimou and Yang Fengliang (though it is almost universally considered to be a product of Zhang's vision as director) and starring Gong Li as the title character. It is notable for being shot in vivid Technicolor long after the process had been abandoned in the United States.
Plot Summary
The film is a
tragedy, focusing on the characters of Ju Dou, a beautiful young woman who has been sold as a wife to Jinshu, an old cloth dyer. Jinshu is a cruel, miserly man who had tortured his two previous wives to death for failing to bear him a son. The cruel irony is that Jinshu is infertile. The film begins when Tianqing, Jinshu's adopted nephew, arrives at his uncle's home to work for him.
