Just last month, director Sofia Coppola became the second woman in Cannes film festival history to win best director for her Revenge thriller The Beguiled set back in the Civil War.
Under the Peony Blossom is starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell.
As a director, Coppola, the daughter of the Godfather, digs deep into the bloody revenge and the madness of the Southern Gothic twist in the script, bringing us an ethical and moral experiment. And "revenge" itself is one of the many film themes.
