The lovely Shu Qi (The Transporter) and the charismatic GE YOU (A WORLD WITHOUT THIEVES) are unforgettable in this intelligent romantic comedy-drama from acclaimed director Feng Xiaogang (THE BANQUET, ASSEMBLY). Returning to China from overseas as a rich man after striking gold with his eccentric invention, middle-aged Qin (Ge) decides to look for a wife next by setting up numerous blind dates online. But his gallant attempt to find his second half proves fruitless until he meet up with Smiley (Shu), a beautiful flight attendant who has her own reasons for searching a lifelong companion. Smartly scripted by director Feng and with stunning cinematography shot on location in both China and Hokkaido, Japan, IF YOU ARE THE ONE is a funny yet poignant meditation on relationships in the 21st century, the futile longing for a return to the happier past, and the devastation of lost love.
