About The Dream of the Ancient Capital
This film depicting the lives of ordinary people — street peddlers, poor scholars, and young revolutionaries — reflects the culturally progressive political climate of that pre-War, post-May the 4th era.
Directed by Sun Yu, The Dream of the Ancient Capital leans on a strong ensemble — Chen Yanyan, Cho-cho Lam, Ruan Lingyu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1930.
