Stunning and Eloquent

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2001)

Beautifully poetic and artistic film that really captures the mind and spirit of a person. I was so drawn towards, so mesmerized by such a complex film in many ways. Everything, from the martial arts, to the passionate love between Lo and Jen, to the tearful ending, contributes so significantly to the beauty of the film, the deeper inner meaning behind life, that these characters were inevitably searching for. The beautiful Academy Award winning score was perfect in every sense, matching the mood of the film immaculately. A true treasure, true gem to be remembered forever.
