Ju Dou (Chinese: 菊豆; pinyin: Jú Dòu) is a 1990 film directed by Zhang Yimou and Yang Fengliang, starring Gong Li as the title character. The film, based on the novel Fuxi, Fuxi (伏羲伏羲) by Liu Heng,[3] is a tragedy that revolves around Ju Dou, a beautiful young woman sold as a wife to Jinshan, an elderly cloth dyer. The film was produced using the vivid Technicolor process, long after it had been abandoned in the United States.[4][5] It became the first Chinese film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.[6][7]
Upon its release, Ju Dou faced a ban in China,[8] which was eventually lifted in July 1992.[9]
