This is Hong Kong tear-jerking melodrama at its best, boasting a superb performance by Anita Yuen.

I Saw the Devil (2010)
If South Korean vengeance movies are your thing, this extremely violent and misogynistic flick might just scare you away.
Funeral Parade of Roses (1969)
This is free-form, counter-cultural Japanese cinema at its astonishing best—playful, powerful and brutal all in the same breath.
Housemaid, The (1960)
One of the classic Korean cinema’s most adored works – this is a tale of lust, greed and revenge.
Horse Thief, The (1986)
This is experimental filmmaking on an epic scale, and also one of the greatest pictures to emerge from China’s Fifth Generation.
Housemaid, The (2010)
A mediocre take on the 1960 original with little substance or sexual tension to boot.
Wadjda (2012)
This minor miracle shot entirely in Saudi Arabia by a female director is at its core a simple and subtle drama told with remarkable clarity.
