Our Time Will Come
Why this pick
Another Ann Hui historical drama, balancing a woman’s personal resolve with political upheaval through restrained performances and carefully lived-in period detail.

The Postmodern Life of My Aunt
Why this pick
This wry, deeply humane portrait of an older woman shares The Golden Era’s literary sensibility, empathy for imperfect lives and richly observed social world.

The Assassin

For its exquisitely composed historical world, spare pacing and inward female protagonist, it offers a more elusive but similarly immersive Chinese period experience.
05
Autumnal Lament in Exile
