PURPLE BUTTERFLY


So, I loved Lou Ye's last movie, but this was a let down. It's well photographed and acted, but the jittery style and story left me a little cold.

Wanted to like it, but didn't happen.

I'm writing this several months later, and I happened to see a move today with similar wartime themes that I liked a lot better--even though it was in Madarin and no English subtitles.
