If you loved The Assassin, try Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame
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
Theysit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Assassin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame is
Imperial City, nearing winter. Whispers and wind. Two courtiers spontaneously combust, leaving the Empress Wu Zetian in a bind. Her solution: release the imprisoned detective Di Renjie to solve the riddle. Tsui Hark’s wuxia mysteries always deliver.
