Happened across this famous Chinese drama on cable. Visually astonishing, with incredibly elaborate fight sequences (some that aerial ballet shit from "Crouching Tiger" but most not), surreal special effects, an astounding sense of color and texture. The story is convoluted, full of double and triple reversals, and makes very little sense. It isn't supposed to. The whole point here is the jaw dropping visuals.
Which were jaw dropping.
