(No, not another post about myself.. ;-))
Yesterday night I went to watch the Chinese movie Hero (英雄), another Wu Xia (武俠)-movie, that made it to the west, just like the overwhelming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (臥虎藏龍) a couple of years ago. And just like this one, Hero completely blew me away. Very well choreographed, wonderfully composed pictures, skillful actors and a great score are used to tell a story with a maybe not always easy accept to accept attitude.
In fact, I could keep on writing a lot more here, but right now, I just feel sleepy, thanks to the still very hot weather here, so maybe I'll post a complete review later on.. for now just: Go and see this film.
