Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

This film, not in the English language, is greater than most of big productions from Hollywood. Some people call it The Matrix of the art-house and I totally agree. The action scenes of Wo hu cang long (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) are even better. The story is not that special, but the way director Ang Lee shows it to us makes it very special. Everything in this film is perfect: the acting, directing, cinematography, the score, the costumes, everything. See this film for a great fantasy adventure.
