Bloody Noodles
This is a Chinese film (English subtitles) based on the 1984 Coen brothers' production of Blood Simple. I think both films are excellent and would be hard pressed to rank one above the other.The basic story: Cheaters are discovered. Cuckolded husband is most unhappy and makes plans. Plans veer off course. People get . . . injured.The eighties version was set in present-day Texas. The 2010 production is set in a small noodle shop surrounded by a desolate lunar-like desert region. The shots involving this landscape are somewhat surreal and often spectacular. The time may be the 1700's or 1800's; it's when guns were still a novelty in remote parts of China, and people rode their mustangs instead of driving their Mustangs. Time and place are significant factors in the Chinese movie; they are virtually irrelevant in the Coen brothers' film.Director Zhang Yimou's version definitely has more comedy than the original. There's scarcely a giggle in the dark...

Product Description

It looks like a perfect plan: the affair will come to a cruel but satisfying end when a Chinese noodle shop owner plots to execute his unfaithful wife and her lover. But the lover has a lethal plan of his own in this violent tale of adultery and revenge based on the Coen Brother’s debut classic Blood Simple. Top to learn more

By all rights, Zhang Yimou's remake of Joel and Ethan Coen's first feature shouldn't work, but it does--marvelously so. It's not that Blood Simple is a masterpiece, though it's very good, but that the two filmmaking entities would seem to have little in common. Zhang even moves the action to feudal China, where noodle shop owner Wang (Dahong Ni) browbeats his unnamed wife (Ni Yan, beautiful and feisty) and coworkers Zhao (Ye Cheng), Chen (Mao Mao), and Li (Xiao Shen-Yang, sweet and jittery). When traveling merchants drop by while Wang is away, his wife buys a pistol--in a sequence so over the top it threatens to derail the entire picture. Wang, meanwhile, pays patrol officer Zhang (Honglei Sun, in a tightly coiled performance) to spy on her and Li. After the officer confirms his suspicions about their affair, he offers more money for Zhang to take the couple out of his misery, but Wang doesn't count on the double-crosses that will ensue. Zhang intends to rob the man blind, except he doesn't know the combination to the safe, unlike waiter Zhao, who isn't as dumb as he looks (prominent teeth and a tiny topknot only reinforce the impression). Despite a tone that veers between slapstick and suspense, A Woman offers the stunning visuals that characterize most Zhang works, like House of Flying Daggers. The desert--which doubles as a graveyard--is gorgeous in its desolation, while the shop setting is ingenious in its construction. And the ending is truly transcendent. --Kathleen C.

COEN CLASSIC GOES ASIAN
In 1984 two film making brothers, Ethan and Joel Cohen, bust on the scene with a film called BLOOD SIMPLE. The film offered a philandering wife, a sleazy bar owner and a man who'd kill for money. Stylishly made it put the Cohen brothers on the map and led to a string of hits that culminated last year with TRUE GRIT. It also resulted in being remade in China under the name A WOMAN, A GUN AND A NOODLE SHOP.The movie this time around changes not just locations but time period as well. Taking place in the not too distant past, a woman purchases a gun during the opening sequence. She is the wife of Wang, the owner of the noodle shop and a woman unhappy in her marriage. As we find out, she was purchased and nightly punished by her husband, Wang. It's little wonder she's taken up with one of his employees, Li.The movie shifts back and forth from drama to comedy depending on the circumstances and actors involved. Li comes off as a bit of a buffoon, always concerned...

The Second Sex
A very personal account of what it is like to be an Italian woman during the fin de siecle. During this political and socio-economic climate, you have a woman writing a book exploring feminism. This book is also a justifcation for leaving her rapist husband and adoring son to have a life to live. The following passage best summarizes her dilemma in terms of a woman being a 'human individual:' 'but how could she possibly become an individual if her parents handed her over, ignorant, weak, and immature, to a man unable to accept her as an equal, a man who treated her like a piece of property....' An important and controversial book still relevant to our post-modern times.

mi piace molto!
This well-written translation introduces a complex theme without being reductive or pretentious and without moralizing. The style is lucid and direct, and there are many moments throughout that are staggering by virtue of their incisiveness and content. Though by no means "escapist reading", A Woman is a pleasure to read, both for the spare elegance of the writing and the nuances of human experience it depicts. Its characters are human, not archetypes, and, like life, the story is inspired and apalling by turns. This book is now among my favorites.

Una Donna
I've read this book partly in Italian and in English. It, honestly, changed my life. It enabled me to see the error in selflessness. Selflessness means without self and Sibilla demonstrates without question the insanity of trying to live a selfless existence.

Product Description

For a book that sent shock waves through the European literary establishment and, since its original publication in 1906 has gone through seven editions along with highly cclaimed translations into all th principal languages of Europe, A Woman (Una Donna) by Sibilla Aleramo (1876-1960) has remained curiously obscure in America. Aleramo's lightly fictionalized memoir presented a kaleidoscopic series of Italian images--the frenetic industrialism of the North, the miserable squalor of the country's backward areas to the South, fin de siècle Italian politics and literary life--all set in the framework of a drama admiringly characterized by Luigi Pirandellow as "grim and powerful." For some other Italians, A woman touched ar aw nerve, and many critics reacted to Aleramo with extreme hostility. However, whether one liked Aleramo's novel or not, the book was an iceberg in the mainstream of Italian literary life, impossible to get around without careful inspection. --From the introduction

David Bishop's "The Woman"
David Bishop's "The Woman" gives us interesting characters and theories. We have a woman with a past, shrouded in pain and loneliness; a clandestine operative; and a business that isn't what it seems, all wrapped up in a tightly woven plot that keeps us guessing right to the end. The characters in this story are people we understand and can identify with. Our story begins in a small town on the West Coast -- one of those towns where everyone knows you and knows your business. At least on the surface. But things are happening in this town that shouldn't be. Someone is operating an "off the books" intelligence service, a police officer knows more than he should about the newcomers to the town, and professional hit men are turning up dead. Not your average small town America.I especially like a good conspiracy story. When you add murder, attempted murder, chase scenes and imaginative plotting that keeps me guessing I am happy. This one delivers all of...

Product Description

There are approximately one-hundred-and-sixty million women living in America. This is a story of just one woman. As the story unfolds Linda gradually learns that some people do deserve to die, but that she is not one of those people.
Linda Darby is a seven-year divorcee, living quietly in a small let-the-world-go-by beach town on the coast of Oregon, who day trades for a living. Her only close friend is a widowed elderly woman who manages a small consulting company, which, as is later discovered, never has visitors, sends and receives its business correspondence only by courier, and is not listed in any phone directory. No one in town knows what kind of consulting the company does, but the rumor is that whatever they do is done for the government.
Linda doesn’t date local men. When her celibacy grows intolerable, she visits nearby towns to frequent the watering holes of successful men. Her motto: No relationships. No second dates. No use of her real name during one-night stands.
Then one evening, Linda goes for a walk and nothing for her is ever the same. She is dragged into an alley by two men, but saved by a third, a stranger who disappears as suddenly as he appeared. The next day she finds out the two men in the alley had been killed, the town’s first murders ever. The following day she learns that hours before she had been dragged into the alley, her close friend was tortured and killed. The next night, she awakens several hours after going to bed to find a man sitting in her bedroom, watching her.
In the days that follow, events stretching all the way to the nation’s capital change who Linda is, what she thinks, and how she will live the rest of her life. Top to learn more

A nice mystery to pass the time
Before reading this book I had read the reviews on Amazon. 8 reviews, all positive words of encouragement and high star ratings. I felt the book was a little slow going and I had a hard time holding on for the ride. I wanted to love it, but I didn't. Usually, when I start to get bored within the first few chapters, I don't finish.One of the reviewers on Amazon labeled this book as "scary." I would call it far from a scary horror thriller novel, but I would say it ranks within the murder mysteries. Not meant to scare you, but rather to make you think. Who did it, and why?Like many mysteries, there are a lot of turns and twists. I enjoy a good change of scenery, but this novel had a tad too much for my liking. Characters started to melt together in a cauldron, not suitable for sipping. The turns and twists made the book heavy with story. Mysteries don't need a lot of story. They need a lot of here, now, and why. Stay with the why. Too much of the past, and you...

"Blood Simple" in China
In the opening of Yimou Zhang's "A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop," a young wife of a tyrannical noodle shop owner buys a gun with three bullets from a traveling Persian merchant. Of course, she has a good reason. And perhaps she shouldn't have. A seemingly small decision she has made results in misunderstanding and strife among the characters. Some get greedy. Others make plans. All get involved in the chain of events that gets increasingly messy.As you know, this is the acclaimed Chinese director's version of "Blood Simple." Not many directors would attempt to remake the Coen Brothers film, but Yimou Zhang thought differently. His effort "A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop," it is certain, is a quite unique film. Its visuals are unforgettable, and so are the characters (at least, how they look). But sadly they are stuck in the slow-moving story. After the promising start (noodle-making scene is amazing), the film descends into sheer dullness. Things get repetitious (the...
