IMHO - this is a pretty brave film. I began struggling to stay awake after the first 10 minutes (and I did succumb a few times along the way). I've never been more aware of cricket sounds or birds chirping, and it's been a while since I watched a film where the actors do a lot of internal emoting. You can't go wrong with Shu Qi. She's hot. Dialogue is sparse and the few fight scenes are brief and bear little resemblance to the types found in more commercially oriented films. I suspect a second viewing will probably be needed for me to appreciate this film better. That said, I won't recommend this to a mainstream audience.
