A love scene clip does not show how good the acting is. Romantic Asian movies South Korean "wind struck" (exists in an American remake I don't know the title of) And the Japanese "My girlfriend is a cyborg". Both made me, a grown man, cry!

I wasn't trying to show you how good the acting was. I was trying to introduce people to the movie. Go watch it.

Now we're getting somewhere. Someone else chimes in with Wong Kar-Wai. Excellent. I liked Last Life in the Universe as well. Not on the same level as Wong Kar-Wai's stuff. Most people here don't have a clue about Wong Kar-Wai, and yet amongst cinephiles, his movies are way way up there. Did you see Days of Being Wild? How about Three Times?

How about Three Times? yea, kar-wai's movies are really a class of their own in the way how they are directed. (his style also seems to be more accessible for western people. i don't how to describe it, but it's something with how he arranges scenes or cuts them, or the plot is build up) Unfortunately I have neither seen "Days of being wild" or "Three times". i put them right up my list . I have watched a lot of asian movies after seeing "Oldboy" in the cinema some years ago. (big Park Chan-wook fan since) But I haven't kept track of the asian moviescene for the last 5 years so I'm sure I missed out a lot of stuff...have to do some backlog in the future. some of my favourite asian movies: (sorry for OT, so not all romantic but have to spread this stuff ) Stratosphere Girl (mixed european-japanese crew with german director, it's in my asian section anyway) Save the green Planet Monday Séom - The Island Bittersweet Life Ploy Haze 19 Vital Kikujiro's summer Tampopo "Xich Lo" aka "Cyclo" and of couse the revenge trilogy by park chan-wook (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance)

No need to defend a movie that is old, especially when it really isn't old. The important thing is to recommend movies that are good. I don't believe I've actually watched that one, so I'm not saying one thing or another about the film. Have you seen Mikio Naruse's Floating Clouds?

His films are poetic and existential masterpieces on love and longing.That bears repeating: Wong Kar-Wai's films are poetic and existential masterpieces on love and longing.Days of Being Wild is the first in Wong Kar-Wai's loose trilogy, comprised of Days of Being Wild, In the Mood for Love and 2046. Three Times is a film from the Taiwan New Wave director Hou Hsiao-hsien. The film is composed of three segments, the first of which is absolutely beautiful. See the very beginning of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqhLDTxODhYSpeaking of the Taiwan New Wave, and perhaps a smidgeon off topic, have you seen Edward Yang's Yi Yi? Now that's a masterpiece! I've also seen The Terrorizers from him, which is really good. But I so much want to see what is supposed to be his true masterpiece, A Brighter Summer Day. Film critic Tony Rayns says Yang's Taipei Story is excellent as well. See the trailer for Yi Yi here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F6tSorwYqwStay tuned for a few more Asian film recommendations...
