Image: From the cover of Girl from Hunan, directed by Xie Fei. A boisterous, complacent girl faces psychological annihilation when she is sent into an arranged marriage (to a toddler!) in a remote Chinese village. But as she matures, she saves herself, defying turn-of-the-century constraints and risking an adulterous love affair.
