红楼梦

Directed by Gong Yingtian

Dream of Red Mansions is a spectacular version of a Kunqu opera (UNESCO recognised Kunqu as a ‘Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity’), brought to the screen by an acclaimed writer-director. It’s adapted from one of China’s most popular novels, written in the mid- 18th century, which charts the rise and decay of a noble family.
