New Chinese movies I want to see in 2014:
Gone w/ the Bullets (一步之遙)
Why I want 2 C it: I did not see Let the Bullets Fly, but this has the look of a 40s musical w/ most of the scenes shot on a big sound stage. It definitely has the potential to be a giant hot mess. But films that take big risks are also the most interesting (see Jodorowsky's Dune). These trailers remind me of the Chinese musical, Perhaps Love (2005), which was a wonderful experience.
