Zhang Ziyi, Peter Chan’s ‘She’s Got No Name’ Debuts Atop China Box Office
Zhang Ziyi’s highly anticipated return to the big screen with the period drama 'She’s Got No Name' powered its way to the top of the China box office.
The film, which reunites Zhang with acclaimed director Peter Chan Ho-sun, marks one of the strongest local debuts of the summer season so far. Based on one of China’s most famous unsolved murder cases, the film centers on Zhan-Zhou (Zhang Ziyi), a wife charged with the bloody dismemberment of her husband during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in the 1940s – a killing that seems impossible for her to have committed alone. The story follows the case from Japanese-occupied Shanghai through the Kuomintang Nationalist government victory and into the People’s Republic, ending in 1993 though the accused murderer lived until 2006.
