Bird People in China

Japan Takashi Miike

A sarariman and a yakuza travel to a remote mountain in Yunan in search of jade and find one of those magical villages where the folks are sweet and the lifestyle stands in stark contrast to modernity.

Greatly enhanced by spectacular scenery throughout. Docked some for overacting...which was really unfortunate but seems to be endemic in Eastern films. Loved the use of "Annie Laurie."
