The images in the film are quite frankly beautiful. The story is hard to follow at first, but it makes sense by the end. I was impressed and greatly enjoyed watching this film.

The 1000th String. This is one of those films I stumbled upon a while ago on video and immediately loved it. I recommend it to you; this is definitely a film well worth seeing. The ethereal music of the traditional stringed instrument, the Sianxian, alone makes it worthwhile to watch. But the film also contains a perfect combination of elements: a harsh landscape, a tragic love story, and a friendship between an old and young man, as well as the beautiful music. This is one of my favourite Chinese films, its time I watched again. (In fact now I know it?s being released on DVD I will probably buy it.)

Kaige Chen, shows here the vastness of China (In Farewell My Concubine, he depicts the oppression of the individual in the times of the Cultural Revolution. In Together, he shows the rise of the individual, in more recent times.) I love foreign films that are expressions of their country's identity, or their cultural identity.

Chen's symbols at times clash as expressively as Paradjanov's

Okay but not the best in Chinese film history. Acceptable but not great.
