The Equation of Love and Death torrent

This black tragic-comedy-cum-romance is a refreshingly edgy offering from China's still-developing commercial film sector. Anchored by a brilliant performance by major star Zhou Xun, Cao Baoping's second film doesn't let up for a moment. Zhou plays Li Mi, a chain-smoking cabbie in Kunming, southwest China. She is obsessed with her boyfriend, who, although he disappeared several years ago, continues to write her letters. She obsessively recites the contents of these letters to her rides. Among them are a bumbling couple of would-be drug smugglers who cross paths with her and with a man who appears to be her long-lost love. When the smugglers fumble their mission, they attempt to kidnap Li Mi. As the film swerves from physical comedy to bursts of violent fury, the plot forms and reforms before our eyes, laying out puzzles of identity and chronology that take satisfyingly unpredictable turns.
