Anyone impressed by the Oympics opening and closing ceremonies? They were produced and directed by Zhang Yimou.
He also directed the film, House of Flying Daggers.
It was nominated for many awards in 2004 (I think). It has all the suspense, romance and fighting you might wish for in a Chinese movie. It also has Zhang's rich textures and colors and is quite high quality. Stars Zhang Ziyi (no relation) a beautiful and talented actress.
The theme song is translated:
A rare beauty in the north,
she's the finest lady on earth.
A glance from her, the whole city falls;
a second glance leaves the whole nation in ruins.
There exists no city or nation,
that has been more cherished
Than a beauty like this.
I recommend it, if you are looking for something a little different.
