i really really like this film, its so surreal yet it is set in the realistic city of shanghai..... i fell in love of it the first time i saw it. the story is so romantic yet so bleak about the idealisms of love...... i seriously couldn't go to sleep after watching that film...it makes me want to find a guy like Ma Da to fall in love with yet i dont want my love story to end up like theirs. so yeh if i was the camera dude, i would close my eyes and wait for the next when love arrives.the girl who plays peony is great, because she can differentiate her characters so well.

This is a wonderful movie. I am most taken with Zhou Xun (Meimei/Moudan). She played both roles impressively by giving each of them a character that is totally different from the other. Never once allowing the audience to believe that other than the looks (and the mermaid), nothing else about them is the same.Other then that... everything else about 'Vertigo' and stuff were mentioned by the others, so i shall not go into that.Great movie. One of my faves of all time.

Very obvious nods to "Vertigo", but that shouldn't distract from a very good film. This is a film of beauty and comedy. You whirl through the streets of Hong Kong, and catch a very real sense of modern life in that part of the world.If you like Wong Kar Wai then catch this.

This movie offers a sharp contrast to the historical revisionism of Zhang Yimou and others of the Fifth Generation of Chinese directors who seem happy to peddle a lot of costume dramas, which, fine as they are, are hardly progressive. Sushou River shows us parts of Shanghai which rarely make it onto Western screens, and there's isn't a peasant, an emperor, a concubine or a red lantern in sight. Xun Zhou is extraordinary in a star-making role on a par with Zhang Yiyi's in Crouching Tiger... Ye Lou is clearly the one to watch from the 6th Generation, a true romantic with more in common with Wong Kar-Wai than Chen Kaige. Er...that's a compliment.
