Feng Xiaogang'’s Assembly is a war drama made in 2007, about the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949) in which the Communists and Nationalists battled for control of China. The film is based on a real account of a veteran army captain upholding his company honor. Produced by a state-run film studio, the film was a big hit in China. After almost twenty years of not making such films, the theme of “revolutionary struggle” is once again returning to China’s silver screen.
This film runs 124 minutes.
