i'd normally liked asian movies on the slightly sillier side (jackie chan, etc.) but last week, my friend at umvd let me borrow "purple butterfly" (starring the GORGEOUS zhang ziyi ) and it's such a gorgeous, tragic movie...it kinda reminds of japanese films like "dolls" and "last life in the universe" with it's slow pace and amazing visuals...if u want more info, u can go here and check em out....i REALLY love "purple butterfly". lemme know if u have any other recommendations.
