Chinese director Zhang Yimou (Ju Dou, Raise the Red Lantern) returns to his forte after a brief stab at comedy (The Story of Qui Ju). A multigenerational story opening in the 1940s and continuing up through the 1960s , To Live follows the triumphs and tragedies of a single family that weathers both personal loss and political upheaval in rapidly changing times. Exquisitely filmed. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. (R. Pitman)
