Zhou Yu, a ceramic decorative artist, travels twice a week from her home town of San Ming to Chongyang to visit her boyfriend, Chen Qing, a government worker and budding poet. The two met at a dance while Chen Qing was in San Ming, his old home town, on a business trip. She is the inspiration for the best of his poetry. Zhou Yu is a strong willed woman, whereas Cheng Qing is a sensitive soul. These differences in addition to the growing disparity in their life situations places an unspoken strain in their relationship, despite each truly loving the other. As such, Zhou Yu befriends Zhang Qiang, a veterinarian who travels on the same trains as her. Like Zhou Yu, Zhang Qiang is a strong personality whose emotional temperament more closely matches hers. Ultimately, the three, individually and collectively, have to decide if, and if so how each of the others fits into his/her future life, especially as Cheng Qing has to make a further decision about his professional life.
Leave your thoughts about Zhou Yu's Train.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonIt's pretty French for a Chinese movie, this bittersweet apparition of a flick... |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisI cannot argue with critics who found the film pretentious and inflated, but I somehow enjoyed it for its deification of the female on her endless journey to eventual oblivion. |
| NewsdayJohn AndersonDeeply felt but overly hyperbolic romance. |
| San Francisco ChronicleCarla MeyerThe back-and-forth approach can be confusing, but it doesn't obscure the picture's chief ideas. |
| Boxoffice MagazineWade MajorA stirring portrait of a modern Chinese woman grappling with her heart, her head and her fragile sense of self. |
| Senses of CinemaDan SallittOne can quibble with the film here and there, and it takes a turn toward conventional sentiment at the end, but it's a pleasure to be able to describe a film as Hollywoodish and mean it as a compliment. |
| Hollywood ReporterRichard James HavisIt's an unusual idea but fails -- Sun spends so much time on the mood and atmosphere that he forgets about the story. |
| Jam! MoviesBruce KirklandWhat it lacks in depth and substance, the Chinese film Zhou Yu's Train makes up for in mood and elegance. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasSeems at once overwhelmingly romantic and elliptical, yet all the while it has been building to a conclusion that is surprisingly affecting in the jolt of recognition it elicits. |
| Toronto StarSusan WalkerZhou Yu's Train is less than the sum of its very impressive parts, which are scattered on to the screen so haphazardly as to make it nearly impossible to mentally assemble the chronology of the story. |
