Yijian Zhongqing (2000)

Member Rating:

One of Asia's most popular screen stars, Maggie Cheung stars in this romance about two Chinese 30-somethings living in California. Ellen (Cheung) is a single mother who works as a cabby; Mike (Cantonese pop star Leon Lai) is a computer genius who owns a struggling dot com. The two exchange glances at a bar one day, and later, when Ellen spots Mike drunk in the street, she invites him to share her cab. Hormones duly explode in volcanic proportions, and the two embark on an on-again, off-again affair that may or may not survive their respective problems. As Ellen and Mike, Cheung and Lai appear together onscreen for the first time since they starred in Peter Chan's 1996 film Comrades, Almost a Love Story. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

This film is also known as "Sausalito". If it weren't for Maggie Cheung, there probably wouldn't be any reason to watch this film. Throughout the movie, you might keep thinking a deep story will eventually emerge, but the plot never rises above the level of an after school special. The movie merely provides an opportunity to watch a very skinny Maggie Cheung travel around what appears to be San Francisco. Leon Lai's character is completely self-absorbed and only detracts from every scene he's in. The audio is in stereo and subtitles are provided in English. Unfortunately, the subtitles suffer from a moderately poor translation with a few grammatical errors. As for extras, there's a short slideshow and a two and a half minute music video consisting of clips from the movie. Lightly recommended.
