(2006, 111 min., Mandarin with English subtitles, directed by Ann Hui) Based on a popular novel by Yan Yan, this film mixes comedy and poignancy in a tale of a sixty-something woman who lives alone in Shanghai and is trying to cope with both financial woes and the impersonal city around her. Chow Yun-fat adds to the film's charm by playing a smarmy con man.
