The mid-20th Century setting, the presence of Zhang Ziyi in a leading role and the fact that Chinese megastar director John Woo is at the helm might bring back memories of last year's The Grandmaster for some. But don't be so narrow-minded, The Crossing is a sober, if sumptuous, drama about Chinese citizens who flee to Taiwan during the Chinese Revolution after WWII. It may be a presence at next year's Oscars, with a Chinese release date set for the 2nd of December and some serious international potential, should a faithful distributor get behind it. A few more posters below, including some after the cut.
