Suzhou River 
Category: Foreign
Run time: 83 minutes
Director: Ye Lou
Starring: Zhou Xun, Jia Hongsheng, Yao Anlian, Nai An
A clever story which is both simple and deep, rooted in the real world yet semi-hallucinatory to boot, "Suzhou River" starts life with the always unseen narrator - a central figure in the plot - who is a video cameraman with a habit of spray painting his phone number on bridges and street corners. He gets to make the most meagre living from filming birthday parties and weddings and so, with lots of time on his hands, he fantasises about the folk sailing down or walking by the eponymous river. He only becomes animated when seeing, thinking about, or filming his pretty young girlfriend who performs a club act decked out as a mermaid. One day a motorcycle courier, just released from jail for kidnapping his own girlfriend, talks to the cameraman about her. Can both girlfriends be one and the same? Or are there two identical girls running around Shanghai?
