Blue Kite DVD

Originally banned in its home country of China, where the director was under close government scrutiny for making the film without permission, THE BLUE KITE is one of the most acclaimed and controversial films to come out of the new Chinese cinema, detailing the realities of daily life under Mao's regime. This film rivals the best selling book 'Wild Swans' as the most moving and convincing account of the realities of daily life under Mao's regime. The story focuses on the fate of a beijing family from the 1950's through to the nightmare years of the cultural revolution.
