A common theme in most Asian cinema that I have seen is that it has Zhang Ziyi in it. House of Flying Daggers, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Memoirs of a Geisha, 2046, Hero, The Warrior, The Banquet. Doesn't really say much about Asian cinema, more about me, or her. But now I'm watching Jasmine Women which I haven't seen yet. It is also known as Jasmine Flower. #ZhangZiyi #JasmineWomen #JasmineFlower #NowWatching
The film is at first difficult to get into since the young woman in the first generation is a very naive character, but each generation the woman is smarter, stronger and more independent. The film turns out to be much much darker than you'd suspect once you realise what the things are that are not spoken about and hardly shown, but which have a fundamental influence on someone's life. I really enjoyed this film. Ziyi is really great playing three different and growing personalities. And it has probably the most memorable giving birth scenes of all films ever... #ZhangZiyi #JasmineWomen #JasmineFlower
