Coming off the visceral House of Flying Daggers and Hero, this new film, which wears its heart on its sleeve along with its dewy populism, is slow and pretty. . . .\u0022 (Ella Taylor, The Village Voice)\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAll films have English subtitles.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOrganizer and curator: Howard Y.
