Screen International by Allan Hunter
This is not a venture into wire-work and acrobatics but a contemplative, often ravishing-looking, immersion in the complex politics, power struggles and personalities of the Tang Dynasty as seen through the moral dilemmas facing an enigmatic trained assassin.
A gorgeously shot, quietly intense adaptation of the classic "Nei Yin Niang." The threads of simmering romance, loyalties, political connections, and honorable duty are woven into a rich, yet somehow understated, film. I loved it.
