Director of a number of masterpieces, presented here is the film he considered his personal favourite of all his films—and certainly his most successful—EXECUTION IN AUTUMN.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince his childhood, Pei Gang (Ou Wei) has been spoiled by his rich grandmother who raised him after the death of his parents. Unable to control himself, in a fit of rage, Gang kills a pregnant woman – who indicated him as the father of her unborn child – and her cousins; for this he is sentenced to death, and will be beheaded in autumn, the traditional season for executions. His grandmother tries to save him, but this proves to be a task beyond her means. So she makes him marry the young Lian (Tang Pao-yun), an orphan raised within the family, in prison, so that the Pei line does not die out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a screenplay by Chang Yung-hsiang (who also wrote another Lee Hsing masterwork, Beautiful Duckling), EXECUTION IN AUTUMN comes to Blu-ray for the first time ever as part of the Masters of Cinema series, in time for its 50th anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented from a 2K Restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eureka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56390871581051,"sku":"EKA70463","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3926\/1492\/files\/EKA70463_ExecutionInAutumn_MoC_website-500px-1.jpg?v=1787607953","url":"https:\/\/shop.terracottadistribution.com\/products\/execution-in-autumn-blu-ray","provider":"TerracottaDistribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
