Spring in a Small Town / 小城之春 (1948 Mu Fei)

Chaoming Cui. Wei Li, Yu Shi, Wei Wei.

Because I heard some enthusiast talking about it twice on two different radio programmes on the same day, then waited ages for the BFI to release it. Became buried after the Communist revolution (1949) but has since resurfaced and is rated as being one of the best Chinese films made... in which case I think I'll stay away from China for a bit.

It's good though, but no Brief Encounter. Liked the ending - silhouettes on the City wall.
