Feb 19, 2016 It's actually more than OK. See more Feb 17, 2016 Is this the best version of this story ever told? Tough call, but possibly yes. It wouldn't exist without its forebears, there's a couple of moments shamelessly pulled from the Stephen Frears version, the treatment of the Cecile character owes more than a little to Cruel Intentions, and the references to the politics of the new setting feel somewhat tacked on. Nonetheless, it's one of the most sumptuous films ever made in terms of design, and if it leads you in with your eyes, the script does the whole thing justice. Cecelia Cheung absolutely marvels in taking on a role that's been done by Jeanne Moreau, Annette Bening and Glenn Close and making it her own tour de force so that you don't know whether to cheer or run screaming. See more Nov 2, 2015 Let's all indulge ourselves and live without consequence. yay!... not. See more Jun 12, 2014 well crafted chinese version of the french novel and pic See more Aug 26, 2013 Camera is amazing, the story is a bit weak. Nothing too impressive See more Aug 17, 2013 2.5/5 --- Decent could've been much better...was expecting more so I ended up being more disappointed! Plot that's been done a thousand times over in a million over movies/plays, story was slow and predictable, cinematography was ok, sometimes weird angles of blurry close ups and then panning...Acting was good, Zhang Ziyi performs well though it's strange and almost unfitting of her to play such a weak role/character. Other characters were stereotypical, setting was also odd 1931 China looks extremely glamourous. It's so nice to not have to read subtitles (I miss Chinese films)...Wonder who does them and how some end up translated so wrong? At least there were no misspellings :D See more Read all reviews
