      From: wlah...@gmail.com              Hey,              A coming-of-age story set in the criminal underworld of Shanghai in the 1930s       and directed by one of China's foremost directors. Opening with a lethal drug       deal gone wrong, the young boy of the story is then appointed the servant of       the gang boss's        mistress who also sings in a club.              The boss's mistress is always the main ingredient in a violent cocktail in       crime movies and it doesn't matter where the drama unfolds. This is an       excellent, rich, and lavish production about the 1930s in Shanghai and       completely credible to the ending        that leaves you hanging.              Directed by Zhang Yimov from a script by Bi Feiyu, Cinematography by Lü Yue       and music by Du Yuan. Starring Gong Li, Li Baotian, and Li Xuejian, among       others.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
