Incisive and heartfelt study of the cultural changes in China, from the 1940s to the 1960s. Unlike Yimou's previous films, this time around we see most things through the eyes of the main male figure, played with sincerity and passion by Ge You. The divine Gong Li plays You's wife, and while her character remains mostly in the background, I think she's phenomenal; You is perhaps the voice of the film, but Li is the film's heart and soul. Her subtle mannerisms add immeasurable to the overall success of the film. In fact, the film works because of the wonderful chemistry between You and Li; they are one of the most convincing screen couples I have ever seen. There is something very real in their scenes together, and anyone that has been married for quite some time will know what I'm talking about. In terms of the film's political angle, I thought Yimou handled the social commentary with honesty and force. Sure enough he was punished by the Chinese government. Anyhow, this is Yimou at his very best.
