Abstract:

When a big shot Hollywood director (Donald Sutherland) slips into a coma while working on a film in China, his entourage plans an extravagant funeral for him. Unfortunately, none of them have any money so they turn to alternate, hilarious methods to fund the festivities. This first international project by Chinese director Feng Xiaogang is an interesting look at capitalism in modern China. With Ge You, Rosamund Kwan, Donald Sutherland, Ying Da, Paul Mazursky.
