Curse of the Golden Flower
Zhang Yimou does it again. Stunning cinematography, sumptuous sets and costumes, stunning acting and kick ass fight choreography. The story is quite possibly the most "western" of Zhang Yimou's films, it's positively Shakespearian in its depth and tragedy - although with a particularly Chinese outcome.
