Wo de fu qin mu qin [Region 2] description
At the start of the most recent film from Chinese director Zhang Yimou (Raise the Red Lantern, Ju Dou, Shanghai Triad), a young man returns to his native village after the death of his father, the village's schoolteacher, who died while trying to raise money for a new schoolhouse. His body is in a neighboring town; the young man's mother insists that it be brought back on foot, lest his spirit not find his way home. From this starting point, the young man recounts the tale of his parents' courtship, which involved a red banner, mushroom dumplings, a colorful barrette, and a broken bowl. The Road Home is beautifully filmed, particularly the luminous face of Zhang Ziyi (from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), whose performance is a heartrending portrait of hope and yearning. A simple but deeply emotional film. --Bret Fetzer |

A Shining Star Emerges
|
| For generations, filmgoers have used the phrase "Betty Davis Eyes" to describe the ineluctable power that a charismatic actress can wield over an audience. With this film, we have seen the launching of the phenomenon that will one day be call "Zhang Zi Yi Eyes." With a vividness reminiscent of Deborah Winger in "Terms of Endearment" Zhang embodies all the hopes, yearnings and passion that young village girls have learned not to express openly. She can say it only with her eyes, and she does. This is a simple tale, but one that holds the viewer, because it talks of things that are most vital -- literally the future of two people whose love for each other never wavers, and whose belief in their future binds them tightly. The atmosphere is real, the action is genuine and the emotions are ones to which we can all relate. This was the beginning of what has become a great career and makes it abundantly clear why Zhang has become such a huge star. |
