The Unfinished Comedy
1957 film by Lü Ban / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Unfinished Comedy (Chinese: 没有完成的喜剧, Méiyǒu wánchéng de xǐjù) is a 1957 Chinese film directed by Lü Ban. This notorious[1] satirical comedy has been described as "perhaps the most accomplished [Chinese] film made in the 17 years between 1949 and the Cultural Revolution".[2] Due to its controversial subject matter, the movie was received very poorly by the censor critics and not shown to a wider public, and led to Lü Ban's ban from future film making until his death two decades later.[1]
