I am trying to locate the title of a movie I saw some years ago, 1996 or so; it is Chinese, tells the story of a gambler who loses everything as the backdrop, the story of him and his family through the turbulent years of the Chinese revolution and Great Leap Forward; it was highly interesting and entertaining with it’s often-neglected themes of daily life among ordinary Chinese. I think puppets may have played a part as well. Any idea what movie I might be thinking of?
Thanks!
