To
Taste a Hundred Herbs (58 min., 1986) explores themes of religion
and medicine by examining the life of Dr. Shen, a Catholic village
doctor.
To Taste a Hundred Herbs
"raises the filmmakers' investigation of rural China to a metaphysical
level. Here, the directors salute the traditional Chinese spirit
as embodied by a traditional Chinese doctor... The movie starts
with Dr. Shen singing 'O Come All Ye Faithful' in Chinese. As a
practicing Catholic, he's part of a Long Bow minority. Yet as a
medical practitioner he's a focal point of village life."
Michael Sragow, San Francisco Examiner
Sept. 14, 1986
