House of Flying Daggers

House of Flying Daggers (Chinese: 十面埋伏) is a 2004 wuxia romance film directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Andy Lau, Zhang Ziyi and Takeshi Kaneshiro. Unlike other wuxia films, it is more of a love story than purely a martial arts film.
The film opened in limited release within the United States on December 3, 2004 in New York City and Los Angeles, and opened on additional screens throughout the country two weeks later. The film grossed $11,050,094 at the United States box office, and then went on to significantly overperform in the home video market in the United States.
The film was chosen as China's entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for the year 2004, but was not nominated in that category; however, it received a nomination for the 2004's Academy Award for Best Cinematography.
