I think this is an outstanding movie.
Having lived in China for the last 3 years, I've not seen a movie that so completely encompasses the reality of life here. The sounds, the smells, the touch of real life saturates this film.
For Sinophiles everywhere this is a must-watch movie.
China aside, the cinematography feels like a work of art. The slow panning camera, the oblique angles, the over long lingering of the camera on the scenes, the moments of surreality in what is otherwise a movie grounded in the "real", the beautiful stills etc...
The movie is full of humanity and compassion, great depth and emotion.
More people should watch this!
