International Film Series - From internationally celebrated director Zhang Yimou comes a deeply moving story of love and war. A flock of shell-shocked schoolchildren, a dozen seductive courtesans, and a renegade American posing as a priest (Christian Bale) are thrown together, all seeking safety behind a walled cathedral. While trapped for several days by marauding soldiers, the prejudices of these disparate groups fall away as they unite around a last-ditch plan to protect the children from impending catastrophe. In English and Mandarin. Rated R 1 Point
