Hero

I think this is the most visually stunning movie I have ever seen. Yimou Zhang director's a stellar cast featuring Jet Li as Nameless, our clever storyteller. The tales involve Tony Leung Chiu Wai as Broken Sword, and one of the most exquisitely beautiful women in the world, Maggie Cheung, as his partner in crime Flying Snow. This film was also my introduction to the very talented Ziyi Zhang, who portrayed their servant, Moon.

Required viewing for everyone. Costumes, sets, music, editing, storyline, Brilliant. Simply Brilliant. Not just one of the best films of the year, one of the best films ever.
