Truly Sublime

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2001)

I admit that when I first heard about this movie I was expecting another rehashed Hong Kong film with some good action, but totally devoid of a plot. I could not have been more wrong. Never before have I seen a more fantastic film. The very nature of the movie mesmerizes and beguiles the viewer. Everything is beautiful...the aesthetic force of the film alone makes it worthy of the highest praise. From childhood I have always been in love with the old Kung-Fu style films. Being in the theatre was like being a little kid again: mouth agape and eyes wide with wonder watching the old legends come alive. This movie is a must see!!
