If you loved Hero, try House of Flying Daggers
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Zhang Yimou, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hero, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
foreign gem
What House of Flying Daggers is
Ancient China, snowflakes gently falling, a bamboo forest sways. A blind dancer, a rogue captain, and a web of deception. Zhang Yimou balances action and beauty.
