The beauty of martial arts.
Summary:
Beautifully executed with gorgeous scenery. Flying fight scenes are hyper stylized capturing the etherealness of ancient Chinese lore. At the core of it all, a romantic love story that holds everything together. The number one recommendation for a true Chinese movie in Chinese culture and style.
