Review of Curse of the Golden Flower (2006) by Iffat A — 07 Nov 2009
Wow, what a visually stunning film! Much brightness and colour in this epic tragedy that emulates Shakespeare, however Zhang has used his visual genius to make it so much more! The screenplay is very clever, an amazingly stunning set teamed with props and dynamics - just the overall cinematography really.
The story line gets more interesting as each member of this incestuous circle discovers secrets and deceptions deeper than any ever imagined. I love Chow Yun Fat in this film and Gong Li looks amazing with her timeless beauty.
It is as devastating as it is entertaining. Definately worth seeing!
