Item Descriptions:
Widely viewed as director Huang Jianzhong's best film, A Good Woman is a portrait of rural life in southwest China through the eyes of a woman in a matriarchic society. Unlike other folklife portraits of the time, the film focuses on the protagonist's personal situation, rather than on the social structure itself. This film is a great window into Chinese rural life, and Chinese filmmaking in the 1980's, a formative period for the industry.
