Ziyi Zhang

Why should she be mentioned in a Ziyi thread?

I haven't seen much of her work, but she hasn't intrigued me as Ziyi's has.

I wasn't meaning to alter the thread. However as Ziyi, Li, Maggie and director Zhang Yimou are all so closely connected I hope it is not too out of place.

No problem!

I see they are both going to appear in "Memoirs of a Geisha."

She is on the cover of Newsweek this week.

Cover.

I finally saw Wong Kar-Wei's '2046" (at the Nuart in Los Angeles) and all I can say is that if you like Ziyi Zhang, you should see "2046."

I make no guarantees whether you will like the film, but I did. It's certainly not like anything else out there.

Yes, it's a very interesting film! The dvd is great, and it may be showing in a small theater here in town soon, and I'd love to see it again, this time in a theater.

Ziyi is so beautifully bitchy in that one!

I have "In the Mood for Love" (which is purportedly a better film) now in a beautiful new edition, but haven't sat down and watched it yet.
