Sacrifice

Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine) directed this complex tale of power and intergenerational revenge, based on the 13th-century play The Orphan of Zhao. A story of epic revenge, Sacrifice focuses on a power hungry general who wipes out his rival along with his entire family, save for one newborn. The infant is protected by the doctor who delivered him and raises him as his own, hoping to mold him into his own instrument of retribution. With Ge You, Wang Xueqi and Huang Xiaoming.
