    Empire of Silver is an intimate portrait of one of the families that controlled the Chinese economy at the turn of the last century. The acting is excellent and the scenery stunning.

    Well acted, filed, directed, photographed

    by barbarasf

    Beautiful cinematography, interesting story of heart vs duty in a time of strict gender and class roles, poverty and war. Well acted and well done. Romance, heartbreak, love, death and war: something for everyone. One you would want to see on the big cinema screen.
