To Live
Tragic as ever, without humour like Blood Merchant. Not sure I can take reading
another similar ilk by him.
Luckily, currently only 3 of his books (that I know of) had been translated into English.

Excellent! Intrinsically Chinese. Dark. Humorous.

9 and 1/2 weeks.
I was a minor when I first watched it, got all hot and bothered with
both Mickey Rouke and Kim Basinger. And my young teen soul loved the angsty ending.
Now I see Mickey as the control freak that he is in the movie. There are some beautiful shots in there, well, a little kitschy at times. After all this was done in the 80s, and the soundtrack? ikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11175672216583914482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6240731.post-107219537658703072003-12-24T00:02:00.000+08:002004-04-15T03:26:41.746+08:00Darn.
