Viewing Notes
Twisty dark comedy / palace intrigue murder mystery / assassination plot with plenty of v good quiet scenes separated by loud modernized folk songs for a wild and occasionally unconventional approach to the this period piece. Not quite as accessible as Yimou’s previous works but still has his top level filmcraft between the acting and interactions plus his photographic palette of blacks and gray tones with small bursts of color.
