Yellow Earth is a 1986 film set in 1939 in Northern China on the Loess Plateau of Shanbei in Shaanxi province. This film is "one of the most important films to appear in the 1980s, not just in China, but in the whole of global cinema. ...marked by a genuine attempt to create a 'new' kind of cinema.(in) its use of colour, composition and framing and its use of sound to evoke an 'unknown' time and place." - The Case for Global Film.
