When he discovers the theft, he and Shu Lien set out to retrieve it. If you enjoyed this film, you'd be wise to seek out The Chinese Ghost Story series of three films by Ching Siu Tung. They are inspiring. The gorgeous bold hues show no sign of chroma noise. On occasion, colors border oversaturation, but hues are mostly quite natural.
Images are sharp, with excellent detail into facial details and embroidery on the costumes.
Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely balanced, with visual information available in even the darkest scenes. The picture is smooth, and beautifully renders the fantastic and at times wonderfully dizzying cinematography. There is a hint of edge enhancement at times, but the distraction is not always present. Minor source element artifacts are scattered sporadically throughout, but are never terribly bothersome. Sound effects are usually subtly spread across the screen for a compelling sense of spaciousness, albeit with limited activity in the surrounds.
