Plot Summary
Mo's Story (1930's)
The young and beautiful Mo (Ziyi Zhang) gets a chance to realize her dream of being a film actress, but soon becomes the mistress of Boss Meng (Jiang Wen), an influential film investor. For a brief time, all is well, but soon Mo's dream of movie stardom is destroyed by Japan's invasion of China. Boss Meng abandons her to flee to Hong Kong, and Mo, pregnant and alone, has no choice but to return home to her mother (Joan Chen), where she gives birth to her daughter Li. But she blamed Li for everything she had lost…
Li's Story (1950's)
Against her mother's wishes, Li (Zhang Ziyi) marries working class Zou Jie (Lu Yi). But, unable to get along with Zou Jie's family, Li feels wronged, and decides to return home to live with her mother. Zou Jie, deeply in love with Li, moves in with them as well. But soon her mother's attentions to the gentlemanly Zou Jie inspire Li's jealousy. Feeling unsafe, Zou Jie believes that a child is the only way to ensure his family's stability. Zou Jie therefore adopts an orphan child for the infertile Li, a young girl name Hua. But as Hua grows up, her mother begins to experience hallucinations, and suspects that her husband is having an affair with their adopted daughter. In order to prove his innocence, Zou Jie commits suicide. Because of this, Li goes insane and runs away from home.

Li disappeared when Hua (Zhang Ziyi) was still very young and she grown up with her grandmother Mo (Joan Chen). Mo treated her own daughter very badly but found comfort on taking care of her granddaughter. Mo encourages Hua to get married to her boyfriend Xiao Du (Liu Ye), but Hua insists on waiting until he graduates from university. Unfortunately, by the time Xiao Du graduates, he has fallen in love with another women. He marries Hua but carries on an affair with someone else. On her deathbed, Mo tells Hua the unforgettable story of her past. Like her mother, Hua gives birth to a baby girl to raise by herself.

采访
我非常感谢各位专家和评委，对我在《茉莉花开》一片的肯定，感谢他们给我的殊荣，对年轻演员，这是一种无形的鞭策，感谢导演侯咏帮我完成“茉”、“莉”、“花”的塑造，也感谢侯咏导演帮我领奖，帮我拿好奖杯(笑)。”
影片《茉莉花开》所表达的深层含义可能是很多观众不能一下子读到的。实际上，我的一些想法需要有一些必要的引导才能让大家明白。而这些含义不仅是我精心融入影片的，也是我很想让更多观众能够明确感受到的。
Jasmine Women Review - Variety, November 2004
A multi-generational tearjerker of the first order, Jasmine Women is an impressive showcase for Mainland-born actresses Zhang Ziyi and Joan Chen, in multiple roles as daughters and mothers across three generations... As the three rebellious daughters, Zhang Ziyi has the showier roles and more than proves (especially after "2046" and "House of Flying Daggers") that she's a young actress of considerable range who's only just beginning to hit her stride.
Director Hou Yong Takes About Jasmine Women
Why let Zhang Ziyi playing three characters?
To save money. This is equal to her playing three movies for me. (Laugh) Actually, I insisted on letting one actress play the three characters since the beginning. I just want the audiences, from an expression in her eyes or a smile of her, find out something from her mother and let them think more. If I use three actresses to play these three characters from three different times, that will not be neo-classic, it will be post-modernist.
On the set of Mo Li Hua Kai (Jasmine Women)
Tell me something about the cast. How did you recruit Zhang Ziyi to play Mo, Li and Hua?
I want the best actors in my film, of cause, and Zhang Ziyi is one of the best (Chinese) actresses of our times. I once wanted to cast Gong Li and at that time, Zhang Ziyi was still too young to handle three roles (in one film). I have already had very serious conversations with Zhang Ziyi and I have written down my thoughts of (the roles), including many ideas. I believe Zhang Ziyi will handle it very well.
