Before Born (2006)
Huang is a taciturn detective, hired to catch the elusive Li Chonggao in an illicit tryst. Having failed that, he placates himself by collecting evidence: taking pictures of a rumpled bed or attempting to question the locals. When he meets the stunning Yu Ran, he suspects she may be the key to capturing Li, but she has secrets of her own.

Excellent, a Must See
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
I don't mean me with my opinion of this movie. It's not that I was storming out of the theatre at the International Film Festival at Berlin. Nor that anybody else that watched this movie did. But there is a certain kind of melancholy that comes through the screen directly at you! There is this man, that has a briefcase with him and he knocks at a door, but no one opens. Then he meets a woman, who's looking for the same person he is. If that sounds boring to you, than you shouldn't watch the rest of the movie. Although it does have some beautiful arranged sequences/pictures for you, if you bare to stay with it. I did, but I neither do I know, if I can really recommend this movie nor if I should tell everyone not to watch it ... It is spiritual and slow, if that does help with your decision! ;o)
