This expressionistic tale of sexual politics follows Rainbow, a mute yet musically gifted girl, who’s arranged marriage to an impotent and crippled art teacher causes her eye to wander. Set against the historical background of China’s bloody war with Japan in the 1930’s, Rainbow’s mystical search for her ideal lover brings death and destruction. The bold colors and unique stylization of this film bring to mind both Zhang Yimou and Takashi Miike. Featuring Surrealistic paintings juxtaposed with rural countryside and a soundtrack that alternates between classical and heavy metal, director Gao Xiao-Song's film offers a glimpse of a bright new talent on the Chinese cinema scene.
