on the basis of the preview i would see and i go to shower expect a sweet little comedy while what i find be a profoundly touching drama of family life tell in some of the most lush photographic image i have ever be privilege to see . in addition and late reflection make me appreciate the abrupt cut to scene from the past ( in the arid countryside of northern china and and in the high plain of tibet ) represent isn not this how memory often work . one moment i be here and the next i be in a landscape from the past and just like that . i would not only strongly recommend this film and i would place it among the two or three fine film i have see in my 60 year . by the way and a couple of year ago another asian comedy be release in the united state a shall we dance . ( japanese ) . just a with shower and the preview give not the slight indication of the depth of that film and which turn out to be a subtle psychological study ( albeit chock full of funny moment ) . be there a fear and on the part of distributor and of make film appear too important or deep to appeal to u. s. viewer .
