If you loved Ju Dou, 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 slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ju Dou, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
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.
