    • Abstract:
      This article reports that no matter what the genre, one thing distinguishes every Zhang Yimou feature: attention to detail. A trained cinematographer, Zhang is particularly not just about camera angles and film stock, but also about costumes, props and locations. Like Chen Kaige, Zhang is a socalled Fifth Generation director--a Chinese filmmaker who began his career after the repudiation of Mao's Cultural Revolution. And like his colleagues, he often films material set well in the past.
