Awards include the 2012 Shanghai Film Critics Award, 2012 Golden Reel Award, 2012 Asian Film Award, and nomination for the 2012 Golden Globe Award (Directed by Zhang Yimou, 2012, 142 min). Based on the novel by Yan Geling. The dangerous streets of Nanjing throw together a group of opposites, a flock of shell-shocked schoolchildren, a dozen seductive courtesans, and a renegade American posing as a priest to save his own skin, or so he thinks, all seeking safety behind a walled cathedral. Trapped by marauding soldiers, over the next few days the prejudices and divides between them will fall away as they unite around a last ditch plan to protect the children from impending catastrophe.
