Chen Kaige's 'Sacrifice' DVD Giveaway

Synopsis: Set during the opulent Yuan Dynasty in 5th century B.C., Sacrifice is the story of a newborn prince whose entire family, the Zhao clan, is wiped out by a rival general who ruthlessly seizes the throne. An ordinary man, the doctor who delivers the baby gives up everything dearest to him to save the last young survivor in the bloodline of the noble Zhao, and secretly raises the child as his own. But the doctor, played by acclaimed actor Ge You, has devised his own plot for revenge and makes the cold-blooded General -- Tu Angu -- the boy’s godfather, allowing the would-be-King to infiltrate the royal palace as a guest. When the boy becomes a man, he must choose between two fathers, while the destiny of a nation rests with his decision.

Written and Directed by Chen Kaige, Sacrifice reunites the famed director of Farewell My Concubine with Ge You.

"Written and Directed by Chen Kaige, Sacrifice reunites the famed director of Farewell My Concubine and Raise the Red Lantern with Ge You."
.
Farewell My Concubine was directed by Chen Kaige, Raise The Red Lantern was directed by Zhang Yimou.
.
Both films were among the best to come out of China and both directors at their peak were among the best in the world.
.
If I might suggest, spend a lazy Sunday night watching both films. 4+ hours of engaging story telling.
