This is definitely one of the better Chinese films. Who ever is reading this, You're considered lucky to even know this film, since numerous of great Chinese films are missed out outside of China.
It's a tragedy that is facede'd with comedy that makes you think deep. The story reflects deeply on the worst parts of humanity, greed, lust, hate, corruption, social discrimination etc.
Although it is a play-like, comedy-ish movie, the story feels very real and there are deep meanings behind a lot of the shots. It's overall very well written and fine directed. The directors are considered new to movie and the film is sometimes too much like a play, which is probably the main critic I have for it. Definitely worth your time watching.
