In ancient China, warring factions plot to
assassinate Qin, the most powerful ruler. A nameless warrior
arrives at court claiming to have defeated his three greatest
enemies: Broken Sword, Flying Snow and Sky. However, inconsistencies
arise as his story unfolds.
Shot by legendary cinematographer Chris Doyle as a kind
of hallucination, a riot of colour and movement, this Crouching
Tiger-style blend of awesome martial arts set pieces, historical
drama and tragic romance, is one of the richest and most
unforgettable movie experiences of this or any other year.
