HAPPY TIMES HOTEL (2002)
ZHANG YIMOU
Plot
Zhao is a middle aged man who has yet to find himself a wife. Having reached an unbearable level of desperation Zhao resorts to deception in order to secure himself a partner and it is from here that this funny, sad drama stems as our 'hero' weaves an increasingly implausible web of wealth. Happy Times is a sweet and enjoyable film, slighter than you might have expected, but touching and amusing nonetheless.
