Zhang Yimou's "Under the Hawthorn Tree"

Zhang Yimou's new movie Under the Hawthorn Tree opened the 15th annual Pusan Film Festival this month. Under the Hawthorn Tree follows two young lovers attempting to walk the line during China's Cultural Revolution. The film is classic Zhang Yimou; pretty and slow moving, much like a Korean drama on sedatives.
