The DVD documentary on the making of Hero is a useful introduction to the Film.

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2002)

I have just bought a DVD copy of the documentary on the making of Hero in Toronto's Chinatown. It introduces the various cast members and production crews that contributed to the success of this Asian epic masterpiece. The genius of Director Zhang Yimou and his ability to bring out the best from his cast of actors, cinematograhers, music composer, costume and set designers, and action choreographers makes this DVD a must see for film enthusiast. The running time of this documentary is around 2.5hrs long and it is only in Mandarin with simplified Chinese subtitles.
