A Woman, A Gun And A Noodle Soup

A Woman, A Gun And A Noodle Soup

Synopsis

Wang is a gloomy and cunning noodle shop owner in a desert town in China. Feeling neglected, Wang’s wife secretly goes out with Li, one of the employees. A timid man, Li reluctantly keeps the gun the landlady bought for ‘killing her husband later’. Every single move they make, however, does not escape the boss’s notice. Wang decides to bribe patrol officer Zhang to kill the illicit couple. It looks like a perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel but satisfying end or so he thinks. The equally wicked Zhang has an agenda of his own that will see more violence than necessary.

The Trailer

The Review

Zhang Yimou has been behind great films such as “Red Sorghum”, but as of late, we’ve been introduced to crap ones such as “Curse of the golden flower”.

But his most recent directorial, “A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop” is an excellent comeback.

It’s a movie based on Coen Brother’s “Blood Simple”, and I might add the adaptation was well replicated.

Full of black humor, it tells of an illicit relationship that turns tragic, and the thriller that ensues.

The Good

  • Character are not one-dimensional
  • Excellent visual effect

The Bad

  • The odd film color scheme might disorient some people
