S.W.’s Verdict
Ang Lee made a wuxia film for people who think they do not like wuxia films and a love story for people who think they have seen enough of those. Zhang Ziyi is the center of gravity. The bamboo forest sequence is the kind of filmmaking that makes you briefly forget physics is not optional.
