I caught this on a flight to Japan (right after seeing "Driven", yikes!) and thought it was quite good. Directed by the great Zhang Yimou and starring Zhang Zi Yi ("Crouching Tiger").I haven't seen Wong Kar-Wei's "In The Mood For Love" yet. Looking forward to watching Maggie Cheung again.

Keep us posted on In The Mood. She is beautiful. But I have to admit - asian faces are for me harder to keep in memory, they fade away faster. I didn't know she already made over 80 films - and she's just 37.
If you expect another Judou or Raise the Red Lantern, you'll be dissapoint. Doesn't mean it's a bad, but each time Zhang release a movie, we expect a classic, that wasn't the case with The Road Home. If you haven't seen his previous work, Not One Less, well what are you waiting for?As for In The Mood for Love, all newspaper from Montreal gave it a almost perfect rating. Depend on each one taste, I like movies with good plots, not really the strengt of Wong Kar-Wei, but In The Mood For Love is very beautiful. Happy Together is still his best.
The Road Home : ***
Not One Less : ****1/2
In The Mood for Love: ***1/2
