A touching portrait of a dying small-town hairdresser that brings to mind Chaplin in its deft mix of comedy and pathos. Kier is truly remarkable in the lead role, hilarious and more flamboyant than a 30-foot Christmas tree without ever hiding the pain, physical and emotional, his character is in.

The 3rd film I've seen by director Hua Shan, and he's rapidly becoming a fav of mine. I was in rubber monster suit rapture watching this. Possibly the greatest collection of goofy villains ever assembled. Every time Inframan would kill one of them, I'd get pissed at him for being such a party pooper
