While her much-celebrated film academy mate Zhang Yimou has been focusing his lens on grand costume epics, Li Shaohong has constantly pointed her camera at fresh new subjects. In 2004, Li impressed audiences with the visually over-the-top Baober in Love, which follows a Chinese yuppie who leaves his wife and runs off with an "ageless" Beijing girl. A year later, she set her sights on the murky world of adoption in the drama Stolen Life and now her latest offering is a thriller, paying homage to the master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock.
