This is like the Chinese version of Fall of the Innocent, but a lot more expensive and better made. I’m kidding a little, if I started to list the similarities between the two films they would be more random than symptomatic, but the fact is that they both had the same effect on me. A visually nice bait for fake emotions, with an outstanding Bale, that’s it.

Another visual gem by Zhang Yimoua that gives some color to the turmoil of war and even to a bombed out city full of dust. The up-beat or even romping beginning led by the drunken funeral director, Bale, is interspersed with raw battle scenes, and it’s not until the second half that it turns into a tearjerker presented with the greatest possible brilliance. The depicted contrast between religious students and prostitutes couldn’t be greater. But Ni Ni is a wonderful combination of both.
