YesAsia Editorial Description
West Lake Moment is a romance combining fairy tale and modern comedy. Directed by Hong Kong born director Yim Ho (Homecoming), this film features the hottest film stars in Mainland China - Chen Kun and Zhou Xun. Their previous collaborations Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress and Baober in Love were both applauded. The two actors join hands again to enact the delicate love between a couple who encounter each other at the scenic spot of West Lake in Hangzhou. Though filled with lighthearted romance and hilarious lines, an examination of the nature of love in a 21st century cosmopolitan context enriches the film with another dimension. With art direction by William Chang (2046) and cinematography by Pan Heng Sheng (Kung Fu Hustle), this film is simply beautiful to look at.
Zhou Xun stars as Xiao Yu, a cafe owner in Hangzhou. One day Ah Qin (Chen Kun) celebrates his birthday alone in her cafe. Xiao Yu's curiosity sparks off their dialogues. Conversations in a relaxed mood in a cafe with tender music stir up the passions buried deep inside their hearts. But Xiao Yu has a Hong Kong boyfriend and Ah Qin's fiancee lives in Beijing... What will be their choices? To whom should they be loyal?

故事的浪漫起點在小語(周迅)經營的咖啡室,某天電影編劇阿秦(陳坤)闖進來,為慶祝自己的生日唱歌吃蛋糕。阿秦對小語自家製的抹茶蛋糕一吃鍾情,卻不敢就此肯定這是畢生至愛的滋味,況且二人身邊都已有結婚對象。時間流轉,一對情投意合的人,走近了,又遠離了,感情路上不斷追逐、尋覓,逃避、進退兩難……
Zhou Xun stars as a Beijing heiress of a swank teahouse, whose 21st century lifestyle has her gaining paramours from Hangzhou to the U.S. But after a fatal accident that spared only two, she begins to rethink her own course in life. Only one man gets close enough to her, and they hesitantly hover around their mutual feelings through chat rooms and SMS. The director even makes an appearance in crazy daydream sequences, in a break from the theme of cosmopolitan loneliness that turns both tragic and triumphant.

Beautiful, but cloying
|
"A West Lake Moment" combines lovely cinematography, creative storytelling techniques, effective performances by beautiful young actors, and some genuinely affecting moments. So why don't I give this film a higher rating? Ultimately, the story simply is much too contrived and manipulative and the self-involved characters spend far too much time ruminating on their feelings. Your humble servant can recommend this movie only for moony adolescents. |
