...collective spirit soaring, no Dancer in the Dark to set the critics at knifepoint. There was, however, a common thread in many Asian films. From the usually insular Iranians to the peripatetic Chinese, top auteurs were literally on the move, making road movies. Tsai Ming-liang (Taiwan) and Jacob Cheung (Hong Kong) went to France; Cheung also touched down in Africa, as did Iran's Abbas Kiarostami. And although Hong Kong is now officially part of the People's Republic, a trip to Beijing (for Mabel Cheung and Stanley Kwan) or Suzhou (for Yonfan) can still be a journey into...
...replies, "You probably don't know it, but I love you too." In its mix of regret and affection (and maybe a little white lying), this could be the last couplet uttered by any soon-to-be-ex lovers, straight or gay.

But narrative implausibilities assure that Midnight Fly ... doesn't. Really, what are the odds that one woman's husband will be the other's lover...
...Workshop, which he founded in 1984, quickly became the Amblin of Hong Kong. Four of its films became terrific franchises: A Better Tomorrow (the action epic that made Chow Yun-fat a superstar and John Woo a world-class auteur), A Chinese Ghost Story (a magical romance with Leslie Cheung), Swordsman (whose two sequels displayed Brigitte Lin in all her pansexual glory) and Once Upon a Time in China (which brought Hong Kong stardom...
