The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

heartbreaking film about the Chinese cultural revolution in the 70's, when young girls were separated from their families and sent away to the remote countryside for manual labors ( A DUMB TRADITION THAT WAS PART OF THE Chinese CULTURAL REVOLUTION).The main character of this film is a 15 year old girl named XIU XIU, who is a victim of the circumstances, someone who relies in the hope of a false promise that will be the path for her destruction. She is sent to live with a man named Lao Jin, who will do everything he can to satisfy her ,he will be witness of the brutality of the corruption of a rotten system, feeling powerless of can do anything for save her.A beautiful film that progresses until turn into a tale of brutality.

This was a film that undoubtedly leaves you with images for (what has been for me) years. I saw this film a year after it came out in 1999 and I still can't get it out of my head. It will definitely make you want to do your research on Communist China and exploitation of any and all sorts. A bona fide "eye-opener" on social issues of all sorts, promise.The cinematography in this film is unparalleled: poignant, stoic, ever-so aesthetically pleasing. The cast is as good as it gets from an American-reading-subtitles perspective; they convey the point of the story without fail on every point. The story, of course, is unforgettably tragic. Forget about happy endings with this one people, but see it all the same. Bring some Kleenex and take some Dramamine if you're physically reactive to strong emotion.

Never seen Such a film before. Suffered much so touching it was. I am an atheist but when I watch films like this I start believing him and thank him that he created the people who do miracles like this wonderful film. It is a high tragedy and broke my heart absolutely. Love you all who staged this film "The Sent out girl". How you did it?!!! It is too marvelous for words. Let live China!!!!

This is by favorite foreign subtitled movie. There are hints of Tarantino in this flick, especially in the ending. This film depicts life in China as a young girl. I especially like the part with the apples. If you can stand reading the dialog , then this is an excellent film. The characters are likable and real. Highly recommended.
