Yimou is perhaps the most underrated imagemaker of the century, his landscape shots are nothing short of incredible. Zhang Ziyi should be the biggest star in the world.

Such a short and sweet story, with beautiful scenery and a soothing soundtrack.
When that color comes in you Can feel the Zhang Yimou. He really is becoming a favorite director of mine.
