Spring In A Small Town (1948) (Deluxe Version) (English Subtitled) (China Version) DVD Region All

In 2005, to commemorate a century of Chinese Cinema, a panel of 101 filmmakers and scholars cast their votes to select the Best 100 Chinese Motion Pictures of all time. The film that topped the list was Fei Mu's 1948 classic Spring in a Small Town (a.k.a Springtime in a Small Town). One of the greatest directors in Chinese Cinema, Fei Mu was a pioneering figure of the Chinese film industry during the 1930s and 40s with films like Song of China (1935) and Remorse at Death (1948), China's first color film. With Spring in a Small Town, he offered his most enduring legacy through a simple, intimate story of love, duty, and yearning in post-war China.

Later remade by Tian Zhuangzhuang in 2002, Spring in a Small Town depicts the love triangle of Yuwen (Wei Wei), her ill husband Dai Liyan (Shi Yu), and doctor Zhang Zhichen (Li Wei). Between Yuwen and Liyan, there is only duty and concern, but no love, as they silently and politely pass the days in the ruined manor that hints of the Dai family's previous wealth and prestige. Their monotonous lives are suddenly changed by the arrival of Liyan's friend and Yuwen's former love Zhichen.

　　2002年田壯壯作品，謹以此片獻給中國電影的先驅們。

　　第二次世界大戰之後，中國南方的一個小城裏，鄉紳戴禮言和他的一家，太太玉紋、妹妹戴秀、還有老仆，面對著戰後家宅破敗的局面。

　　太太覺得生活無聊，妹妹覺得未來無量，要走出小城。一家之主的戴禮言，則心身疲憊，自覺無力振興家業。

　　戴禮言的舊時朋友章志忱從上海來訪，卻不料已為人妻的玉紋正是自己戰前的情人。故事於是微妙地展開，忠信仁義與愛，錯綜之間又摻入妹妹戴秀對章志忱的鍾情，剪不斷理還亂。
