I tried to find this and found many. Please help me and narrow down my search (direct me!).
The Road Home--a simple,old-fashioned love story from the director of Hero, Zhang Yimou. It's a movie.
Part of a film review I found: On a personal note, The Road Home was a revelation of sorts for me. Unlike many of the films reviewed on [this site], there are no guns, no ghosts, no kicks, no death-defying stunts. It's just a magical little tale of young love that somehow transforms you. It makes you discard your cynicism (if only for the time you're watching it), and turns you into a wide-eyed believer. I mean, if even a fraction of the love shown in Zhang Ziyi's face exists in the real world, then life truly is worth living. No special effects, no auteur posturing, no postmodernist twists—The Road Home is just a beautiful little movie. (Calvin McMillin, 2003)
I'll check Netflix.
Zhang Yimou's films are visually stunning and thought-provoking--even the ones that aren't crazy martial arts fantasies. I am interested in checking this one out--and I still have to see "Bundle of Joy"! By the way--you should check out the director Preston Sturges, I have only seen two of his films, from the 40s, but they are a ton of fun and clever yet light comedies--"Sullivan's Travels" and most recently Brecken and I watched "The Palm Beach Story" on Netflix. Hilarious--and not overtly misogynist (at least the guys who get the girls)
