Came across it as it's on IMDb's Top 250 list that I'm slowly working through.
Brilliant film. It's a martial arts piece but don't let that put you off (which it ordinarily might do to me) as unlike many modern such films the fight scenes are a) stunning and b) realistic, with none of the OTT running up walls etc that too often spoils them for me.
The whole film is shot with a pale, almost B&W palette which suits the 1930s setting beautifully and the lead is a great example of restrained, composed acting. Terrific.
