Aroview: This spearheaded the wave of modern Chinese cinema to be seen outside the People's Republic. A communist soldier visits a backwards village in 1939 on a benign mission to collect folk songs, and subtly imposes an subversive influence on the future of his host family. Photographed by now-celebrated director Zhang Yimou.
