Zhang Yimou (1950- ), Chinese motion-picture director, known for his highly visual historical dramas. Politically controversial in his native country, Zhang's films have met with enthusiastic praise abroad and have made him a leading director of the so-called Fifth Generation of Chinese filmmakers, whose careers began after the social upheaval of the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). Born in Xi’an, China, Zhang studied filmmaking at the Beijing Film Institute with other Fifth Generation filmmakers, including Wu Tianming and Chen Kaige. Zhang began his career as cinematographer (motion-picture photographer) for such internationally acclaimed films as Huang tudi (Yellow Earth, 1984), by Chen.

Zhang made his directorial debut with Hong gao liang (Red Sorghum, 1987), which won the coveted Golden Bear Award for best picture at the Berlin International Film Festival. Set in a remote province in northern China during the 1920s and 1930s, the film is distinguished by beautiful, highly evocative images of nature and by a brilliant debut performance from Chinese actor Gong Li. Gong and Zhang subsequently developed a long, successful partnership. Zhang won the award for best director at the Cannes Film Festival for his third film, Ju Dou (1989), which was also the first Chinese film to receive an Academy Award nomination for best picture. Starring Gong as a young peasant woman who is sold to a sadistic, elderly owner of a textile factory, Ju Dou features scenes of dazzling color and a level of sensuality unusual in Chinese films. Zhang has received further international acclaim for his later films, including Da hong deng long gao gao gua (Raise the Red Lantern, 1991), Qiu Ju Da Guansi (The Story of Qiu Ju, 1992), Huozhe (To Live, 1994), and Shanghai Triad (1995). Though most of his films have found wide international distribution, Ju Dou was banned in China in 1991, as was Raise the Red Lantern.
