China, Século IX. Nie Yinniang, a filha de 10 anos de um general, é raptada por uma freira, que a inicia nas artes marciais, transformando-a numa implacável assassina, responsável por matar cruéis e corruptos governadores locais. Um dia, após falhar uma missão, é enviada pela preceptora para a sua terra natal, com ordem para matar o homem a quem tinha sido prometida – um primo que agora lidera uma grande região militar no Norte da China. Depois de 13 anos de exílio, a jovem mulher terá de confrontar os pais, as suas memórias e os sentimentos que, durante tanto tempo, reprimiu. (Midas Filmes)

For lovers of meditation and film as a painting art, this is 120 minutes of the deepest ecstasy. Ingenious work with a mise-en-scène, extra-terrestrial use of open-air scenes, a distinctive rewrite of the rules of the Wuxia genre as defined by Hollywood opuses of recent years, and a film vision from which you physically feel every second of the seven years that Master Chou devoted to film. [Cannes 2015]

Already at school, I really hated poetry analyses. "What did the author mean?" If I answered I didn't care, I was told to watch my manners, so I chose to keep quiet and avoid eye contact. Well, I felt the same way about this film. The visual aspect was perfect, but the story – dead boring. The plot itself was practically missing. Instead, I watched a number of long shots which often felt like my DVD got stuck. None of the dialogue was going anywhere, nothing was brought to a conclusion, and I refuse to ponder what the authors were trying to say.

The visuals are really beautiful in places, but the poetry in the film just doesn't work for me. It's just that I'm more of an epic type who loves plot and narrative. This film, with its promising international title, didn't offer me that, so I settled for the fact that it's mainly a lengthy contemplation on the characters and the landscape.
