	OFFOFFOFF film review ZHOU YU'S TRAIN (Zhou Yu de Huo Che) Chinese movie by Sun Zhou with Gong Li, Tony Leung Ka Fai, ...
		"Zhou Yu's Train" is a nimble, playful piece of moviemaking — and still, somehow, a bit of a drag.
		Our first glimpse of Zhou Yu (Gong Li) is on a train, where she's gingerly carrying a vase she's hand-painted for her boyfriend.
		It's less the story of Zhou Yu and the Train On Which She Found Love than the story of an inventive director, cinematographer and film editor (Sun Zhou, Wang Yu and William Chang).

	calendarlive.com: MOVIE REVIEW - 'Zhou Yu's Train'
		Zhou is swept away by Chen's poetry and his love-making, but he's actually quite reticent and uncommitted, and as the film progresses and its plot develops the question arises as to whether or not she has fallen in love with a phantom.
		Zhou rebuffs his advances, but he persists and she remains intrigued by this witty and intelligent man. The question then becomes whether it will ever be possible for Zhang to compete with the ethereal Chen.
		For much of the way, "Zhou Yu's Train" seems at once overwhelmingly romantic and elliptical, yet all the while it has been building to a conclusion that is surprisingly affecting in the jolt of recognition it elicits.

		If Zhou Yu’s Train is finally no more than whimsy, it’s classy, delicate whimsy, a testament to the way romantic love, however unsatisfied, continues to drive itself.
		Chinese thesp Gong Li goes for a striking career makeover in Zhou Yu's Train, a sensual, slickly packaged slice of Euro-style metaphysical cinema centered on a free-thinking woman and the two men in her life.
		Zhou never struck me as a romantic, and someone who would tolerate a man who generates a low income.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - Zhou Yu's Train
		Everything in the Chinese puzzle of a romance that is Zhou Yu's Train – the jumbled narrative that moves randomly between past, present and future; the penchant for cryptic utterances; the appealing abstractions of cinematography – seems devised to distract you from the essential corniness of the story.
		Zhou Yu (Gong Li) takes a train twice a week to visit her lover, the poet Chen Qing.
		Zhou is an artist herself, a painter of porcelain vases, and she's attracted to the sensitivity that simmers beneath Chen's sullen exterior.

		The character of Zhou Yu (Gong Li) is meant to exemplify a more modern version of the Chinese female character—one who follows her own heart in matters of love, instead of being a tragic, beautiful victim of circumstance.
		Chen falls for Zhou when he sees her dancing in a club, and is inspired to write.
		But Zhou still gets on that damn train, which takes her to Chen and to what she thinks is love.

		When her last collaboration with director Sun Zhou - the social drama Breaking the Silence - got a special screening at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2000, Gong Li was in the most honoured position of all: she was president of the Festival Jury.
		The story of a woman’s determined but ultimately fated search for ideal love, Zhou Yu’s Train has an added interest for international audiences: it is set very much against the backdrop of ordinary, everyday life in the north of China.
		Chen Qing is a poet, and Zhou Yu is seduced more by his poems than by the man himself.

		Her character is a painter of porcelain pottery named Zhou Yu, who is secretive, with an active romantic imagination.
		All very well, except by casting the same actress the movie led me to assume I was seeing Zhou herself at two stages of her life, or at least at two stages of her hair-styling history.
		And if it is true, as I suspect, that Zhou Yu's train journeys have an importance for her apart from their alleged purpose -- if, to put it simply, she just plain likes to take the train -- the movie could have been a little more amused, and amusing, about that.

		His persistence is enough to arouse her unexpected fascination, forcing Zhou to spend the rest of her days — so far as the picture is concerned — torn between two lovers in a wondrous dreamlike state.
		"Zhou Yu's Train" is the type of film that may require repeat viewing in order to take in all that the story offers.

	DVD Verdict Review - Zhou Yu's Train
		Zhou Yu's Train tells the story of Zhou Yu, who paints pottery for a living.
		Director Sun Zhou's compositions are poetic in themselves, utilizing a variety of camera techniques to caress the images of the trains and the countryside (although there are a few too many shots of the overused metaphor of trains going into and out of tunnels).
		A DVD presentation by Columbia that capitalizes (for the most part) on the attractive look of Zhou Yu's Train is not sufficient to compensate for the film's complicated narrative structure and ultimate air of pretention.

		Zhou Yu's Train is less than the sum of its very impressive parts, which are scattered on to the screen so haphazardly as to make it nearly impossible to mentally assemble the chronology of the story.
		Zhou Yu's Train looks good, but there's no denying that there's very little lurking underneath its pretty surface.
		Watching Sun Zhou's romantic drama Zhou Yu's Train is like reading a poem -- not a great poem, or an entirely clear one, but one that occasionally blooms into beauty, with images that can take the reader's breath away.
