The CineCulture Film Series presents “Coming Home” at 5:30 p.m. Friday, May 6, in the Peters Educational Center Auditorium (west of Save Mart Center in the Student Recreation Center). The 2014 film recounts the story of Lu Yanshi and Feng Wanyu, a couple who is forced to separate when Lu is sent to a labor camp as a political prisoner. Lu is released during the last days of the Cultural Revolution and returns home only to find that his beloved wife has amnesia and remembers little of her past. Based on Yan Geling’s novel “The Criminal Lu Yanshi,” the film is a love story about joy and sadness, as well as separation and reunion. Zhang Yimou, director of “Coming Home,” is part of the acclaimed group of Chinese filmmakers that emerged in the 1980s known as the “Fifth Generation.” The film will be screened in Mandarin with English subtitles and runs for 109 minutes. Playwright and former theatre arts professor Dr. Ed EmanuEl will lead the post-screening discussion. All films screened on campus are free and open to the public. Parking is free on the weekends and after 4 p.m. on Fridays. INFO: Dr. Mary Husain at mhusain@csufresno.edu or visit the CineCulture website. Trailer: http://sonyclassics.com/cominghome.
