Plus, Zhang Ziyi.

Meh. Gong Li.
I just saw The Sun Also Rises (no relation at all, that I could see, to the Hemingway novel). No subtitles, so I didn't really know what was going on, but it definitely held my attention. Gorgeous movie.

FUCK YES. That movie made me cry. It's one of the best films I can remember seeing. And for some god-knows-why reason, it barely even seems to have been noticed, at least not here in Australia. Nobody ever mentions it when they're talking about Zhang Yimou, it got no reviews when it came out (well, maybe one tiny one), and it was only at the cinemas for a couple of weeks.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE SUBTITLE...RIKI-OH:THE STORY OF RICKY SEEMS MORE ACCURATE.

Actually they are alternate titles. The actual chinese title is 'Lik Wong', but I did not imagine people would get that.

I think the reason it got so little press (I wasn't really watching for it when it came out, so I didn't notice what kind of attention it got in the US) had to do with the fact that it got sandwiched between Hero, House of Flying Daggers, and Curse of the Golden Flower. People probably didn't notice that he'd made a serious movie.
