Perhaps the most beatifically-filmed martial arts movie ever made. Let it mesmerize you, and don’t worry about much else.

The music and visuals are beautiful, the fights are insane, and the way it tells three different versions of the same story is awesome!

Jaw-droppingly gorgeous to look at, and the fight scenes are wild. Story can be a bit confusing, but it’s a ride.
