This 2002 French/Chinese film recently aired on cable. The romantic storyline is beautifully realized with sensitive performances, sweeping photography and sly humor. Politics surround the Jules and Jim-esque love triangle, bringing characters together who probably would not have met otherwise in an ancient rural Chinese community. Highly recommended.

This is exciting and a little odd – two julias won a Star Award in the horror category at the Indie Gathering in Cleveland. I don’t think of it as a horror film but I’ll take it. Waiting to see that it is part of the published schedule before buying a plane ticket…
