Review of The Grandmaster (2013) by Jorge R — 19 Apr 2014
The plot of the film is strangely, arguably ineffectively constructed, following two protagonists in two diverging journeys. Telling their stories consecutively only exacerbates the disjointed nature of the script.
Yet, Wong Kar Wai dazzles with the beautiful cinematography and choreography of the set pieces. This is a worthy heir to "Crouching Tiger" and a beautiful meditation on tradition, loneliness and segregation.
Despite it's narrative flaws, it's a deeply gorgeous and deeply engaging film.
