I first saw this film some years ago and having recently bought it on dvd it has lost none of its appeal. The story is set in a dye house where the turning of the creaking wheels and machinery are set against the glorious colours of the dyed fabrics that billow and flap in the wind. The history of this old building underlines the character of the owner, a grouchy old man who takes a young wife to gain an heir. The owners nephew, who works with him, spies on the wife who becomes aware of him watching her. She inevitably falls in love with him. Meanwhile the husband suffers an accident and the nephew saves him when he could leave him to die, choosing duty over emotion. By this time the wife is pregnant. The child is born, to the delight of the cuckolded husband. A few years pass. The owner and his supposed son become close and the son determines to destroy his mother's relationship with the nephew, his real father. The husband accidentally drowns in a vat of dye and the son, by now a malevolent presence murders his own father. In a final act the dye works burns down. The photography is stunningly beautiful and at times close and restricted, echoing the situation of the characters who are played excellently by the cast. As ever Gong Li shines throughout and even the lad playing the son convinces the viewer of his violent intent. Definitely one of my top ten all time films. |
