Aftershock

China

Very strong film which dealt with the story of one family torn apart by the catastrophic earthquake in Tangshan in 1976. Effects were excellent. Family members were realistically presented. The history of the radical changes in China for the past 30 years was the background story.

The last few scenes leaned toward maudlin but by then I was so impressed by the entire film I was willing to forgive. First rate production in every respect.
