"Educated women are different..." is the initial observation made by "The Master" when Songlian enters his household as the 4th concubine/mistress/wife.
Songlian takes this action after her father's death, which forces her to abandon her university studies. The movie is about Songlian's adaptation to the household and the extent to which she gets drawn into the various types of pettiness and malice that pervade the 'concubine' system. At times she seems totally immersed and embedded in the system, at times she seems to question it, but, she also realizes that she can never leave it. An amazing and very emotional film.
Please enjoy Raise the Red Lantern!
