Picture Bride

1h 34m • Drama, Romance • 1994

AroView: A 16-year-old Japanese woman emigrates to Hawaii as a ‘picture bride’, but finds it less than paradise - firstly misled by a photograph taken during her husband-to-be’s long-lost youth. This atmospheric historical pageant set in 1918 addresses themes of patriarchal servitude and pioneering hardship in congenial tones.
