An intense drama brought to life by the greatest figures of the Taiwanese New Wave
AVAILABLE FOR THE 1ST TIME ON BLU-RAY
As a child, Ah-shih witnesses her mother's suicide, accused of selling her body for food. Orphaned, the little girl is taken in by her uncle and aunt. But at twenty, Ah-shih is forced to leave her family to marry the butcher Chiang Shui, a violent and boorish man who abuses his young wife. The couple's relative financial ease makes the villagers gossip, and Ah-shih becomes the subject of vile rumors...
A cinematic sensation of 1984, The Woman Who Cries was originally a novel by the feminist author Li Ang, then a rising figure in the Taiwanese literary scene, who boldly tackled the themes of domestic violence and patriarchal domination. Attracted by the transgressive power of her writing, the greatest talents from the New Taiwanese Cinema – from director Tseng Chuang-hsiang (The Sandwich Man) to screenwriter Wu Nien-jen (Dust in the Wind), and actress Pat Ha Man-jik (Nomad) – united to deliver a radical adaptation, with a raw style and restrained narration. Available for the first time in its sublime 2K restoration!
