Suzhou River (BLU-RAY)

A compelling Chinese noir riff on Hitchock's Vertigo about a bike courier with shady connections who falls in love with a bratty pigtailed teenager, watches her commit suicide by jumping off a bridge, and then meets her again — or does he? Ye Lou, 2000.

Along the banks of the Suzhou River, which winds precariously through Shanghai, Marda (Jia Hongshen) falls in love with a dramatically beautiful young woman named Moudan (Zhou Xun). When he tries to kidnap her in order to demand ransom money from her rich father, she escapes him, jumping in to the river and disappearing forever. Marda serves a three-year jail sentence for his attempted crime. Upon his release, he meets a woman that looks exactly like Moudan, named MeiMei (also played by Zhou Xun).
