Raise the Red Lantern

China, managed by Myra, won our Auteurs film World Cup in 2009, while Taiwan also performed very creditably: there are treasures aplenty.

I like many of your personal favourites. Myra is a prodigy in terms of the cinematic output of both of these countries but this and your British and Italian ones are amongst my favorite of your countries film collections.
