Apollo Movie Guide's Review Ju Dou

Apollo Score:

Readers' Rating: 89/100

Summary

On one level, this is a Chinese re-telling of the film noir classic The Postman Always Rings Twice while on another level, it’s a daring critique of contemporary China's political system. Beautiful, sumptuous and bleak, this is a carefully crafted and tender allegorical tragedy.
