I just looked at Yimou’s IMDB and good lord his contemporary movies are so much better than his period pieces.
?? Raise the Red Lantern is brilliant.
sinnick has it.

I haven’t seen Raise the Red Lantern, but Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles and Not One Less are interesting character pieces, while Woman/Gun/Noodle Shop was terrible, and I don’t have fond memories of Ju Dou or House of Flying Daggers either. I’ve remember liking Yimou around 2004, but I’ve got the feeling now that he is off his game.
I knew I had seen that guy before. Although it was tough, because so many of those kung fu movies have a cowardly governor in them.
All right, here we go. 20:20:
That reminds me of a shot from Pretty Woman, a movie I have never seen.
mannequin 2: on the move
MANNEQUIN 3: THE RECKONING
No fair! He’s got a keyboard with accent marks!
Desperately Seeking Susan ?
No one’s got it yet, so here’s the 40:40, which will probably give it away.
