I'm a fan of Ann Hui Movies, especially so when she depict history in a fantasied setting, always impossible scenarios that her protagonist survives to fight another day.

Thoroughly enjoyed all the staged and properly framed parts that enhanced the whole. Never once is one ever disappointed and always being drawn into her takes as they are well done and truly unbelievable which is why they are so captivating even in dull moments.

Looking forward to another fairy tale from the maestro of surreal drama. Bravo !
