    The New York Times Stephen Holden

    Mr. Wang and his screenwriting collaborator, Lu Wei ("Farewell My Concubine"), portray a world that, apart from its hardship, is thoroughly recognizable in its human complexity. Its characters are motivated by the same needs for companionship and material well-being and the same demons - greed, lust, jealousy and despair -- that drive everybody.
