i make the mistake of buy the film off amazon . com . please do not do so . the film be not gate correctly and 1/3rd of the image be cut off and plus there be no soundtrack . this be probably the reason this film be rat so poorly by imdb reviewer here . i rate it 10 because it deserve a 10 artistically and creatively a a film . the version to get of the peach girl be sell off the san francisco silent film festival website with the donald sosin soundtrack and a lovely one and though for some reason toward the end it sound a bit warped in spot while i do not know why . this print be gate correctly and though still a bit rough go in term of visuals while the print have a lot of wear . however if you be the kind of person who can see the diamond here hide underneath the rough and and wish to see one of the most beautiful chinese silent film ever make and then do not miss the peach girl . lingyu ruan be so beautiful and evocative a the peasant girl whose life be symbolic of the peach tree in the countryside where she live . she fall in love with the son of the rich woman who own the property she and her father and mother toil on and but be betray by him when she get pregnant out of wedlock . yan jin give an incredible performance a the son while his face be expressive and emotional and bring depth to his role . you feel his agony a his mother lock him in his room for month so that he can not go find his lose love and make it right by her . the title card be in chinese and english and and many have decorative background and always a plus for me when i watch silent film . it add visual interest to the story . the peach girl ( 1931 ) and the goddess ( 1934 ) be the easy available silent film showcasing the loveliness of the chinese garbo and lingyu ruan and and both be worthy of your time and interest . it be so tragic that she commit suicide so young . what wonderful performance we be deprive of .
