Slow and beautiful

For hardcore action martial arts fans this is not. This is a movie about the spirit of martial arts. It's enphasis lies on the build ups to the fights and the after effects, the fight itself is over in seconds.
The locations are gorgeous as are the costumes full of colour and accuracy of the Tang Dynasty.
The movie itself is very quiet, with sometimes only the ambient sounds of the environment and the movie itself runs at a glacial pace. Sometimes there will be no dialogue for as long as 10 minutes, not a classic wuxia film you may be used to.
A film to watch when you want to absorb yourself into a world.
