...drift from serious to incredibly silly. Sutherland shuffles around the Forbidden City, pontificating on Bernardo Bertolucci, on how to mix Western and Eastern cinematic culture and make the combination appeal to both audiences. Ge You delivers the movie's standout performance, full of shifting moods and emotions. But Rosamund Kwan, as Lucy, the go-between for Tyler and YoYo, is flatter than an airport runway as the woman caught between her Chinese roots and Western upbringing...

Three years ago, Korean director Kwak Jae-yong read a Web column tracing the ups and downs of a relationship between two college students: she eccentric, he naive. Kwak has turned it into My Sassy Girl, an esculent entr?e billed as a romantic comedy. In fact, it's harder to categorize: the movie is absurd, bizarre; it beats...
