One of the best movies I have seen. "Chasing Hemingway" is a movie (like "Ballad of Narayama", "Wings of Desire", "The Scent of Green Papaya") that will move you, add beauty and depth to your life. "Chasing Hemingway" is more "mainstream" than the movies mentioned above but it is still profound. The acting, by Han Bo-Reum and Gao Shuguang (and others), is outstanding. It takes place mostly in Dali, China, which is a gorgeous background for this simple romance. Some viewers might overlook the importance of the short first and last scenes, but they add yet another dimension of reflection on the movie's theme. Watching the movie again reveals more nuances and is even a more moving experience.
