SUBSCRIBEHouse of Flying Daggers – Zhang Yimou
21 October, I was off to SM Megamall to catch the screening of Zhang Yimou’s film “The House of Flying Daggers” China’s entry for the foreign film category for the Oscars and a film that received raves in Cannes. I was planning of watching it the day before but Reena’s invitation to watch Bond was just too good that I couldn’t just pass it off. I arrived at the mall by taking the MRT from Ayala to Shaw.
Ahh, its good to watch Zhang Ziyi again with her radiant beauty and great talent. I have been following her since I saw her in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and am looking forward to see her again in Wong Kar Wai’s “2046.” And back to the movie, Zhang Ziyi’s grace, well choreographed fight scenes, stunning cinematography and wonderful talents made this one a great movie. I was much impressed in the “Echo Game,” and the bamboo grove fight scenes. Really wonderful. Really great.
