Tonight's treat - Zhang Yimou' "Happy Times"

Many of you love that director, but my love afair with him stopped in the mid-nineties... it just did, for no special reason. I guess I just moved onto different things.
Tonight the Independent Film Channel had his 2001 film - Happy Times.
I'll make it short. While the viewer's opinions on imdb present the broad range, I am not afraid to say I loved it. Yes, it is a somewhat formulaic bitter sweet comedy/drama, and yes, it is imperfect in many spots, but it has such a strong human element that it will not leave you cold. Or at least it shouldn't.
It is full of good humor and sadness, and alltogether represents a rare glance into the society about which we still don't know enough.
The young actress deserves big credit and I am sure will go far.
A VERY human film that will undoubtedly touch many a heart.
