This traditional-style Chinese folk tale involves the entangled fates of two pairs of would-be lover-warriors. It has it all: a great story, magnificent scenery, superb interior sets. And fantastic sword fights, some scary, some funny, but all very fast and furious (with lots of the traditional leaping, running up walls, over roofs, and on water). You'll never be able to take swashbuckling-style sword fighting seriously again. This is real .
Beautiful.
