Red Cherry?... here's a summary written by David Carless form www.imdb.com.
It is 1940. Chuchu and Luo Xiaoman are Chinese students who have been sent to study in Moscow, at the International School. She is 13; he is 12. Xiaoman is from Yanan, Mao's base after the Long March; Chuchu had seen her father executed by Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang. The youngsters fit in well and learn to speak Russian... A large group of students, including Chuchu, leave for summer camp in Byelorussia accompanied by their teacher, Miss Vera. Xiaoman remains behind... The Nazis invade the Soviet Union. Moscow remains unoccupied. Xiaoman takes a job delivering condolence letters to soldiers' families. At one apartment, he finds a mother has died. Her very young daughter, Nadia, has not realized it... The summer camp is occupied by Germans. Miss Vera is murdered. One of the Russian boys, Carl, is half-German, and helps the others to escape. They are quickly recaptured. Chuchu and several other students are sent by Gen. von Dietrich to work as servants at Nazi headquarters in the Yakovliv Monastery. The general is also a medical doctor with a peculiar hobby, tattooing...Red Cherry is based on a true story and were China #1 box office in 1996. You won't forget what happened is this movie after watching it and will still remember it as one of the best movie ever made. Highly recommended.
For miss Clara Law, the other film I've seen from her is Floating Life and my opinion is the opposite to what I have for Temptation of a Monk. Does she makes others greats films?
Ann Hui? I believe my video club has some of her films, but I'm not 100% sure. What would you recommend?
thanks.
