QuoteWong Kar Wai works his magic in this long planned "reworking" of his legendary, romantic and one and only martial arts film, previously unreleased in North America. Set in ancient China, Ouyang Feng (Leslie Cheung) is a fallen swordsman who is afraid of love after having his heart broken. But the bounty hunters that work for him like "Blind Swordsman" (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and Hung Chi (Jacky Cheung) discover the intangible secret of true love while Ouyang retains his attitude towards fighters and the precious lessons that they have taught."

It starts off disorienting and congested but opens up midway through and by the end this actually blew me away.

I wouldn't call it a martial arts film.
