Mr. No Problem

This movie, "Mr. No Problem", is adapted from a 1943 novel written by Lao She, one of the greatest contemporary Chinese writers. The novel is sarcastic and sharp itself, and the screenplay adds more humorous lines. Combined with its black-and-white style and the stellar performances from Fan Wei and Zhang Chao, writer-director Mei Feng simply makes a remarkable dark comedy upon his directorial debut. The cinematography is somehow problematic, in the sense that the camera remains distant and stationary in almost every scene.
