Viewing Notes
The disc I have is under the title THE LEGEND OF THE BLACK SCORPION. This is a loose retelling of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and all the familial backstabbing and court intrigue that implies.
Ziyi Zhang turns in a great performance here and the choreography, set design and costuming are outstanding. I also noticed a few matte paintings as backgrounds which were great!
