NOTES
Title from title frames
On December 9, 1937, the Imperial Japanese Army laid siege to the Chinese capital of Nanking, beginning a reign of terror that killed as many as 300,000 civilians, an infamous tragedy now referred to as the Rape of Nanking. The first big-budget fiction film by the Chinese to deal with this seminal event in their modern history, City of life and death is a visceral, heartbreaking portrait of life during wartime, and an unforgettable masterpiece of contemporary world cinema
