February 9th, 2008. Zuo You - In Love We Trust directed by Wang Xiaoshuai was debuted at the 58th Berlin International Film Festival. It proved to be so popular among European audiences that two more screenings had to be arranged. And the leading actress Liu Weiwei stunned the movie goers on the red carpet as an oriental lily.
At the press conference for the film, foreign reporters were very enthusiastic about the film, saying it is soul touching. When asked about the change of his directing style, Wang Xiaoshuai explained that it was due to the roles in the film, while his fundamental theme remains the same. The film reflects the cruelty and anxiety of life and the uncertainty of destiny. Talking about the controversial ending, the director says the ending still betrays crisis which corresponds coherently with the film s title Zuo You meaning left or right.
The Berlinale director Dieter Kosslick showed up at the press conference. He praised the leading actress Liu Weiwei to be one of the rare talented beauties from the east and remained positive about her winning the Best Actress Award.
The director Wang Xiaoshuai enjoys a large number of supporters from different parts of Europe. The Berlinale boasts a special favor towards films of female themes, especially those in Chinese. In the last two decades, Chinese pictures such as Red Sorghum, Center Stage, The Women from the Lake of Scented Souls, Summer Snow, and The Road Home have garnered three Golden Bears, two Silver Bears and two Best Actress awards. So pretty likely In Love We Trust may join the rank of this glory.
