Plot:	Gong Li plays the wife of a wealthy silk dyer in 1920 China. She is repeatedly tortured by her husband for failing to bear him an heir, even though he is infertile. She eventually begins a secret affair with her husband's younger, kinder nephew.
Overview:	A dark, sensual, and visually sumptuous drama, "Ju Dou" centers on the title character (Gong Li), the wife of a wealthy silk dyer in 1920 China. Forced into marriage, Ju Dou is repeatedly mistreated and tortured by her husband for failing to bear him an heir, even though he is infertile. Her suffering attracts the sympathy of her husband's younger, kinder nephew, and the two begin a secret affair that could lead to tragic consequences. Filmed in glowing Technicolor, this tale of romantic and familial love in the face of unbearable tradition is universal no matter where the setting.
