I will write a lot more after I have seen it TEN MORE TIMES!!

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2001)

At this point, I don't really have deep or meaningful words for this film. Michelle Yeoh is wonderfully strong and subtle. Zhang Ziyi will inhabit my dreams for a while. I need separate viewing sessions to focus on acting, costumes, fight choreography, camera placement... all are noteworthy.
Please let it be recognized come Oscar time, for something OTHER than Foreign Language (which should be a total gimme).
