For the third year in a row, the New York Asian Film Festival is screening a film by China’s most successful, popular, and pine scented director, Feng Xiaogang. First it was THE BANQUET, then it was ASSEMBLY and now we’re screening IF YOU ARE THE ONE, one of the funniest, smartest and, yes, most romantic romantic comedies ever made. Plus: it stars Shu Qi. When we were originally writing up the program notes we wrote that IF YOU ARE THE ONE is the second-highest-grossing movie ever released in China. We were wrong. I just found out that it’s the highest-grossing movie ever released in China, unseating TITANIC, which held the #1 spot for years.
