Ang Lee's articulate direction, coupled with Yuen Woo-Ping's (The Matrix) balletic martial arts choreography, makes for a devastating one-two punch. Potent performances from Chow Yun-Fat, Michelle Yeoh and newcomer Ziyi Zhang also give heft to this story about a young woman in ancient China who longs for an adventurous life rather than a dull arranged marriage. The treetop fight scene is not to be missed.
