Title NoteThe first feature film shot in mainland China that was paid for entirely with money from Taiwan. Release NoteDVD Features: Product NotesJianxin Huang's THE WOODEN MAN'S BRIDE is a fascinating Taiwanese drama exploring the constricting bonds of tradition and patriarchy in a remote region of northwest China during the 1920s. Kui (Shih Chang) is a young peasant hired to be part of a caravan escorting a beautiful bride, known only as Young Mistress (Lan Wang), through the desert to join her rich fiance in an arranged marriage. When the wedding procession is attacked by bandits who kidnap Young Mistress, Kui bravely rescues the bride and they continue to the groom's family home--only to learn that the husband-to-be has died in a sudden accident. In the name of tradition, the groom's tyrannical mother Madame Liu (Yumei Wang) demands that Young Mistress honor the marriage agreement and remain with her, wedding the bride to a wooden effigy of her son. As Young Mistress chafes under the oppressive stricture of enforced widowhood, she and Kui embark on a scandalous affair that threatens not only the rule of tradition but also their very lives.
