I saw House of the Flying Daggers over the weekend, and highly recommend it. First of all, the cinemaphotography is stunningly beautiful; there are no American movies that come close to the gorgeous settings that are crafted and showcased. Second, it is very imaginative, such as the "echo game" scene towards the beginning of the movie that is itself echoed later towards the end. Third, it is intensely romantic in a way that is rarely attempted in an American movie. If you watch this movie, prepare your heart to experience a range of highs and lows that will leave you genuinely moved.
