In 1942, Henan Province was devastated by one of the most tragic famines in modern Chinese history, resulting in the deaths of at least three million men, women and children. Although the primary cause of the famine was a severe drought, it was exacerbated by locusts, windstorms, earthquakes, epidemic disease and the corruption of the ruling Kuomintang government.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
"Back to 1942" shows the director's mastery of chaotic spectacle, massed human motion and elegant camera movements.
– Mark Jenkins,
Washington Post,
30 Nov 2012
rotten:
Director Feng Xiaogang captures the epic scale of the exodus as well as the often-harrowing details, yet emotional connection proves more elusive.
– Sheri Linden,
Los Angeles Times,
29 Nov 2012
rotten:
A chronicle of unrelenting misery, sorrow and human degradation that has powerful moments but is hardly uplifting.
– Bruce Demara,
Toronto Star,
29 Nov 2012
rotten:
It catalogs agony without making you feel it.
– Neil Genzlinger,
New York Times,
29 Nov 2012
rotten:
Shifting between individual suffering (performed, not felt) and extended political and business deliberations, the pic displays its budget but not its heart.
– Jay Weissberg,
