"Perhaps the most beautiful film ever made" it says on the poster.
It's true you know. I've never seen anything like it. It's made by the same people that did "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" so there's the same swordfighting whilst flying through the air on wires (but this time you can't see the wires !) and the story is set 2000 years ago in feudal China. It centers on the Jet Li character who comes to the king's court having slain the 3 most deadly assassins Sky, Flying Snow and Broken Sword. Naturally the king wants to know how he achieved such a feat. Cue flashbacks and lots of fighting in beautiful locations, like the chesshouse in the rain and the library in Zhao. The colours are so vivid and the effects are superb. I'm not going to spoil any of the plot because it actually has one so go see it for yourself.
