Letterboxd — Your life in film

This is such a beautiful film right from the get go. The final act isn't going to leave me any time soon. Utterly heartbreaking. Stunning visuals and Gong Li is spectacular as always.

With a searing atmosphere mixed with unbearable tension, Eve's Bayou is an unforgettable experience.

Reminiscent of Yang and and early Hou but Jiang puts his own personal touches on this but there's obvious comparisons/influences here but that doesn't stop this from being stunning and leaving me quite astounded

This is one of those films I never managed to see the whole way through. I would always catch it on TV and for some reason catch it half way through and always miss the end. Decided to rectify that and its entertainment holds up throughout its duration. Of course I've seen the many parodies of this and rip offs and weirdly enough I'd seen U.S. Marshalls the year it came out!

With a better director, writer, editor, cinematographer, production designer and cast this could have been pretty decent

If you like people getting stabbed this the film for you

One of the most tender pieces of art I've seen in quite some time

Stop calling this Lynchian. It's Egoyanian!

Stunningly sincere and powerfully pictured

Outside of the Terminator films I'm not Cameron's biggest fan but this is probably his greatest achievement

The stars of the show here were Peter Coyote, Emmanuel Seigner and Tonino Delli Colli's camera

Hugh Grant is more or less the same role in every film

It's not bad, well acted, that repeating piece of music is scintillating but to be honest I don't really like happy endings like this but it's kind of a feel good film so I'll let it slide
