Evening Bell (film)

Evening Bell is a 1988 Chinese war film directed by Wu Ziniu.

It was one of three war films Wu directed in 1988, the other two being Joyous Heroes, and its sequel Between Life and Death.

Taking place in the immediate aftermath of the Second Sino-Japanese War (the Chinese branch of the Second World War), Evening Bell follows a small platoon of five Chinese soldiers who must negotiate a devastated landscape, burying bodies, disarming mines, and eventually facing off against a starving band of Japanese soldiers who do not yet know that the war has ended.

While the final result was much changed from Wu's original vision, the film nevertheless did well critically both home and abroad.
