Shi mian mai fu Chine-Hong Kong 2004 | Zhang Yimou | vostFR | 119’ | 35mm | Cast : Ziyi Zhang, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau ► Nominee Best Cinematography, Oscars 2005
AD 859. China’s fading Tang Dynasty is locked in conflict with rebel groups, primarily the mysterious House Of Flying Daggers. Tang captains Leo and Jin are charged with capturing the House’s new leader, and suspect that Mei, a young blind dancer at the Peony Pavilion, could be their key to success.
« An outrageously gorgeous spectacle of balletic aggression. At the same time, it offers something we rarely encounter in a whirling martial-arts extravaganza: a romantic passion that's woven into the very fabric of the action. » (Entertainment Weekly).
