This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.In Mandarin with English subtitles. The original Mandarin title of this movie is 'Dong fu Ren'.A precursor to the Hong Kong New Wave films of the late 70s and 80s, Cecile Tang Shu-shuen’s debut feature immediately cast her as an artistic and socially conscious iconoclast. This stylized period melodrama stars Lisa Lu as a widow who suppresses her requited desire for a virile young man, in favor of feudal virtue and her daughter. Shot in part by Subrata Mitra, Satyajit Ray’s longtime cinematographer, and co-edited by the redoubtable Les Blank, The Arch became the first modern Chinese film to win international acclaim.
