Re: The Movie : "Quitting"

Hiya Von,

Don't think it's ever been mentioned on here; I would have remembered.

It's a Chinese film, actually, and there's some info on this IMDB page about
it:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298238/

Had a quick look at the synopsis and message board about the movie, but
couldn't find anything about the Zep lyric reference. It does mention a
scene where he's lying in the grass and referencing the lyrics to "Let It
Be", although they're apparently mistranslated in the subtitles.

I'll keep an eye out for the flick on IFC, and thanks for mentioning it!
Fifteen years ago I was hugely into Asian cinema and worked for a Chinese
film festival here in Montreal for five years, but of late I've not kept up
all that much with the younger directors.
