Red Detachment of Women 18
Hong se niang zi jun
A young peasant girl on the island of Hainan is recruited to the red flag by a dashing communist spy, and joins an all-female brigade for a brutal campaign against the dastardly Nationalist foe. One of the most important Mainland films up to the fall of the ‘Gang of Four,’ director Xie Jin’s war epic crosses the eye-popping style of Communist propaganda posters with the gritty realism of Soviet war films.
