"Spellbinding... A Masterpiece!" - New York Observer
If To Live's title, as Roger Ebert says, "conceals a universe," then watching this engrossing, exhilarating and extravagant film surely reveals one. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize and Best Actor awards, at the Cannes Film Festival, this epic film from China's most renowned director, Zhang Yimou (Oscar-nominee for Ju Dou and Raise the Red Lantern), unveils "a Chinese Gone With the Wind" (The New York Observer)!
Set against four decades of Chinese political turmoil, To Live follows the lives of one couple, Fugui and Jiazhen (Ge You and Gong Li), as they struggle to survive their own changing station within the upheaval. As the years go by, bringing bizarre twists, tragic losses... and profound hope, Fugui and his family persevere, striving to reach a calm within the storm.
