Kamikaze takushî (1995)
Somewhat reminds me of John Wu

Of course, he is not quite there yet, but there is definitely potential. As a matter of fact, the director admits Wu's influence when I had the chance to meet with him.
I like this one more than his later movie, Bounce (Call Girls).
Definitely a director to watch out for!

Tian yu (1998)
A young girl during the cultural revolution
11 September 1998
It is a sad movie. One that starts out happy and generally sinks down to a heavy heart. Joan Chen is excellent as a director. She is one of the few actresses who is surprisingly comfortable in a director's chair. No scene is useless and every placement of the camera is well thought out, detailing all the subtle changes of the young girl. The vast grassland reminds me of A Mongolian Tale, but this movie is better at showing the beauty of it. Simply excellent.
