Curse of the Golden Flower - DVD, Blu-ray

[hidefbob]

Plot ... The volatile balance of power between the King and the Queen and his three sons, which entails betrayal, deceit and passion, pitting the King against Queen and father against sons.

Cast ... Chow Yun Fat, Gong Li, Jay Chou & Liu Ye

Comments ... This movie plays out like a Shakespearean Tragedy! I think it is the best of the recent Chinese movies. Breathtaking sets, costumes, colors and one amazing battle sequence that apparently took 20 day and 1000 Chinese troups to film! This is one movie that need to be seen on Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD.

It is directed by Yimou Zhang who also directed "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers"

Highly Recommended.
