A very good movie

I'm pretty sure I already saw the damned thing but since it was probably more than 20 years ago, I was really eager to check it out again. However, I remember very well when it came out though. Indeed, my sister was really enthusiast about this movie and she was the one who actually made me discover Ang Lee.  Basically, way before ‘Brokeback Mountain’, Ang Lee directed this gem about gay love. Back then, obviously, nobody knew who was this director, myself included, but I was really impressed by this romantic-comedy. Thanks to this movie and its critical success, his career took off and he was then able to create all his following amazing features. The movie itself was obviously a comedy but a really sensitive one, it dealt very well with the subject and it was also really entertaining.  You can imagine that, with such a concept, they could have made one of these terribly lame comedies with some really stupid gay jokes. Eventually, Lee would direct one last one movie in Taiwan (the also really charming ‘Yin shi nan nu’) but he would quickly start a prolific international career becoming in the process easily one of the best directors of his generation. Coming back to our main feature, to conclude, even though this movie is nowadays pretty much forgotten, it is actually a really good flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Ang Lee’s work.
