IMO, the Chinese epics are getting a bit long in the tooth and running out of steam.

I long for the days of 'Red Sorghum', 'Three Times', 'Good People Of The Yangtze' and many of the other quietly beautiful Chinese films...we have 'Xia nu' ('A Touch Of Zen') lined up for tonight after dinner...good stuff!

Huh? There are just as many FINE Chinese films being made right now! "Stolen Life" - tinear 20:47:09 01/06/10 (3)
is a quiet, brilliant story of two young people and it also is a scathing Godard-or-Bunuel-like assault on its society.
I could as easily have listed 10 other fine ones. "Blind Shaft" is another.........
