The story never amounts to much more than a rather tepid Chinese rendition of The Women.

A defining example of Chinese movie-making and one of the best films of the '90s.

A near-perfect movie that often recalls the visual purity and intensity of silent films.

Raise the Red Lantern is like some exotic hothouse specimen that's beautiful to the eye yet caustic to the touch.
