Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.04 sec. |
Zhang Yimou(born Nov. 14, 1950, Xi'an, China) Chinese film director. He began his film career as a cinematographer, and his work for Chen Kaige's The Yellow Earth (1983) helped launch the “Fifth Generation,” filmmakers who brought back sensuality and emotion to Chinese movies. Zhang made his directorial debut with Red Sorghum (1987), which starred Gong Li in the first of her acclaimed roles. Noted for his technical mastery, he also directed films such as Ju Dou (1990), Raise the Red Lantern (1991), The Story of Qiu Ju (1992), To Live (1994), and Hero (2002).

| ``As far as getting along with Zhang Yimou this time, it was all very clear and very easy, actually. Zhang Yimou employs plenty of CGI, too, but his special effects so decisively lift us onto a mythic plane that they become signs and wonders rather than stunts. The official selection out of competition featured more satisfying fare, including new films by Chile's Patricio Guzman (Salvadore Allende), France's Raymond Depardon (10e chambre, instants d'audience), Iran's Abbas Kiarostami (Five) and China's Zhang Yimou (House of Flying Daggers). |
