Recently I watched again some of my favorites asian movies :

Mainland China :

https://mydramalist.com/8183-a-touch-of-sin, (I think Jia Zhang Ke is my favorite chinese director, I luckily watched this movie at cinema.)

https://mydramalist.com/8975-in-the-heat-of-the-sun 

https://mydramalist.com/2612-to-live (always a great fan of Zhang Yimou)

https://mydramalist.com/3646-farewell-my-concubine 

https://mydramalist.com/533-red-cliff

https://mydramalist.com/2394-suzhou-river (Beautiful movie inspired by Vertigo)

https://mydramalist.com/23206-the-orphan-of-anyang

https://mydramalist.com/9527-black-coal-thin-ice

https://mydramalist.com/32087-an-elephant-sitting-still (I think I watched it after Mengosteen recommended it)

https://mydramalist.com/33304-tie-xi-qu-west-of-the-tracks (I was interested to see it as the director came to my city and I had discovered one of his short films. The documentary is very long, more than 9 hours, but I found it very well done, never boring and as it is built in 3 independent parts we can watch it in several times)

https://mydramalist.com/65013-behemoth 

Hong Kong

https://mydramalist.com/6444-blade-of-fury (I don't know really well the cinema of martial arts but a youtuber recommended this movie and it's true that I found it really beautiful)

https://mydramalist.com/4561-the-butterfly-lovers

https://mydramalist.com/2367-in-the-mood-for-love

Taiwan
