Hey! I got assigned HWANG as a playwright...is this movie any good?

I've only seen bits of the movie on youtube, but I would recommend you listen to the audio book, while it's not a visual representation, it is the exact work written by Hwang, dramatized by the two actors who originated the roles of Song Liling and Rene Gallimard. I downloaded it from iTunes and it was worth every penny (you can also get it at audible.com). It's a truly AMAZING play it's been one of my favorites since I first read it about 10 years ago.

well I suspect within 6 years of posting you did your research and saw the film

I thought it was excellent
