A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop

2009, 1h 35min

Wang is a gloomy, cunning and avaricious noodle shop owner in a desert town in China. His neglected, sharp-tongued wife is involved in a secret affair with Li, one of Wang’s employees. A timid man, Li reluctantly keeps the gun his lover has bought to kill her husband. But Wang is watching their every move. He bribes patrol officer Zhang to murder the illicit couple. It seems like a perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel, bloody but satisfying end or so he thinks. The equally wicked Zhang has an agenda of his own. As the plot twists, more blood will flow, and ever greater violence will erupt.

...surely a leading contender for the most pictorially stunning blood-soaked burlesque comedy since Roman Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me But Your Teeth Are in My Neck/Dance of the Vampires.

The film is all over the place, really, until the plot kicks in, at which point Zhang hits the dimmer and plunges everyone into darkness, even a pair of characters seemingly on hand purely for comic relief.

...Zhang Yimou er legesyg som aldrig før og kaster genrerne op og rundt i luften som en nudeldej.
