Back
A Withered Tree Meets Spring
1961·1h 40m
Directed by Zheng Jun-li
With You Jia, Zhihua Hu, Shangguan Yunzhu, Qianli Qian and Hongsheng Liu
Drama
A critical hit during one of China’s most politically charged periods, Zheng’s follow-up to his 1959 anniversary epics merged Soviet-style socialist realism with his own breakthroughs in film technique, specifically his use of continuous camera movement in the spirit of traditional Chinese scrolls. Tractor-kino at its finest, the film revolves around two rural lovers—one struck with a deadly disease—and their eventual survival thanks to socialist medical advances.
