Movie: Zhou Yu's Train

Another Gong Li movie which was simply wonderful. A love story that was spare and poetic with beautiful settings and people and great music. Yes, a love story. And yes it had subtitles. But the poetry of the film was remarkable. Beautiful and touching. Gong Li plays a very strong woman, Zhou Yu, who is elusive and seemingly always heading some place. We both loved it. Gets a five from me. (The critics at the link didn't like it at all. Too bad, guys.)
