Yi-Mou Zhang ’s Raise the Red Lantern‚ is a beautiful and brilliantly made film in its own right.

After seen Grizzly Man (Werner Herzog‚ 2005) and Hugo (Martin Scorsese‚ 2011)‚ I had a better standing of realistic narratives and formalistic narratives.

The opening scene in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet portrays the theme of the entire film.
