A WOMAN, A GUN AND A NOODLE SHOP

September 3rd, 2010

A WOMAN, A GUN AND A NOODLE SHOP- 2009. Premise by Netflix. “Master director Yimou Zhang tackles an adaptation of the Coen brothers’ classic Blood Simple in this period dramedy full of slapstick and plot twists. When the owner of a Chinese noodle shop attempts to kill his adulterous wife, the fireworks fly. The proprietor also hopes to eliminate his wife’s woebegone lover, but complications and high-flying action arise courtesy of a rampaging band of feudal soldiers and the shop’s wacky employees.” Good review in NY Times 9/3/10. Friends did not like this film.

2/11- Slapstick remakes don’t inspire me but I did watch it to the end. Beautiful scenery and lots of color kept me involved. TRDB. Netflix.
