FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

Summer Palace - 4/27/08

Rating: 2 out of 10

Movie Type: Adult Drama

Stars: Hao Lei, Hu Ling, Guo Xiadong

Time: 2:20


The Chinese bueraucracy banned the filmmaker for five years, which I assume gave the critics a reason to rate this move at the top of their scale...but not mine. Sexually explicit, this is a story of a young Chinese girl from rural China who goes off to Beijing University for a walk on the wild side. Set in 1988, just before the Tiananmen Square massacre, it follows the young lady through the next dozen years.

The movie is a long slog and a complete waste of time.
