Hong Kong director Ann Hui melds intimacy and epic history in her latest masterwork, a portrait of the iconoclastic May 4th woman writer Xiao Hong. Like the republican China that she lived in, Xiao Hong’s life was short and turbulent (1911-1942). The movie’s title hints at the irony of those times – when idealism and new literature collided with nascent revolution and a bloody world war. A biopic that subtly acknowledges the unknowability of its subject, this layered and visually gorgeous film was the closing night pick of the 2014 Venice film festival. – Cheng-Sim Lim
Introduced by Howard Goldblatt (Professor emeritus, University of Notre Dame; literary translator and Xiao Hong biographer)
