The Curse Of The Golden Flower
Poisoning, love story, betrayal, fight, blood, death and amazing colours in Tang China.
There's Gong Li. There's an amazing and incredibly pretty young actress called Li Man and there are dresses showing as much breast as French second Empire clothes... that should be enough to watch the film, isn't it?
I had read many critics saying the film was visually incredibly beautiful (and god, it certainly is) but it was lacking a real storyline. Seriously, what where they talking about? I can name 100 films with MUCH worse plots (or no plot at all) and they aren't even pretty to watch.
Besides, it's like a Greek tragedy, with incest and betrayal... except, erm... it's Chinese not Greek.
Oh and there are sword fights and tons of blood (not in little geysers though, only Tarantino does that. Pity!)... and did I mention Gong Li?
