...peripherals like music, costumes and makeup are all part of a carefully crafted whole. Case in point: the 1995-96 World Championship in Canada, where skating officials hinted to Shen and Zhao's coach that their 15th-place finish might have had something to do with their musical choice?Yellow River, a traditional Chinese tune. The officials also suggested the pair's choreography, which drew inspiration from Peking opera, was too jerky for Western tastes. And the duo lacked the sexual chemistry that judges love.

...such obsessiveness emerge images of seemingly effortless beauty. Zhang shows us the unedited six-and-a-half-minute sequence from the Mongolian shoot, a scene so breathtaking it will no doubt earn a place in the cinematic pantheon. Dazzling in red costumes against a pale yellow sun, the two women ballet rather than battle it out, leaping over the treetops and chasing each other's dress trains, while leaves, fanned by the wind, drift down like confetti tossed by an admiring god. It's as though Zhang took a French impressionist canvas for a backdrop and spooled it onto...
