家园 【整理】纽约时报影评大陆电影 Mainland China's economic boom attracted not only business-minded crowd, but also the artistic inclined. Thumbing through The New York Times' Movie Review section, you see more and more Chinese made movies get reviewed, a phenomenon just emerged very recently.
Take the time window: from August 5th,this year, to Sept 5th, in one month, we see at least two review articles on dramatic movies. One is on Spring Fever by Lou Ye and the other, A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop. If you are not sure about the second, its Chinese title might help：三枪拍案惊奇(the first movie is 娄烨<春风沉醉的夜晚>.)
For the Spring Fever, the review does not consider it a well told story. It goes as far as saying "Who knows why Mei Feng's script for a movie that can’t come up with the words to define its characters or give psychological continuity to their action won best screenplay at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival?"
A.O Scott basically compares Zhang Yimou's A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop with Coen Brothers' Blood Simple.
There is also a frame-by-frame comparison of these two movies also by A.O.Scott. 链接
