Review of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) by Nik M — 19 Aug 2016

A film that combines smooth and clear cinematography, lush landscapes, drama that is emotional and engaging, and choreography that is exciting and electrifying. The subtleties of sword-on-sword fighting with the details of specific martial arts styles blend together to evoke an emotional representation of the characters.

It's well-shot, well-directed, well-edited, and, well, superb cinema.
