Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

China

Here we get to watch generations of Chinese women being severely oppressed and tortured (foot-binding) by a massively ignorant, superstitious patriarchal culture. In response they form intense bonds with each other similar to those experienced by soldiers under the extreme stress of combat.

The film was professionally done but hard to watch...sort of like the torture porn (Saw) currently fashionable among teens. Not my idea of a swell time. Not particularly enlightening either.
