Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Color of a Brisk and Leaping Day
Slow moving, but visually stunning, this movie focuses on a Chinese-American's obsession with reviving an old defunct rail line. In his passion, he alienates friends and loved ones, and comes to age still holding on to his fixation with trains and hopes to resurrect the historic Yosemite Valley Railroad.
