Description:

Set in Shanghai on the eve of the Communist invasion, the classic neorealist film Crows and Sparrows delivers a gripping and tense dramatic battle of wills. The story centers on an ambitious landlord who desperately hopes to sell his boarding house. His ultimate goal is to liquidate his assets and flee to Taiwan before the political tide turns. However, his plans face fierce resistance from his stubborn tenants, who refuse to be evicted. As the conflict intensifies, this masterpiece captures the desperate social realities of a nation on the brink of revolution. Behind the scenes, the creation of the film was just as dramatic. Completed just prior to the Communist Revolution, filmmakers tricked censors with a false script to hide the actual screenplay.
