If you look at the amount of films that Zhang Yimou has released this year in the US he might seem like just another Simon Wincer. But his historical marital arts epic Hero had a delayed release by Miramax in order to capitalize on Quentin Tarantinos name and now his latest film House of the Flying Daggers is just being released on time.

House of the Flying Daggers is the polar opposite of Hero because while Hero was about a man sacrificing his life for his people, Daggers Andy Lau sacrifices...

Zhang Yimou directed my favorite movie ever, called "To Live". That movie just totally devestated me. The only thing more powerful was the book. Anyway, I have yet to see Hero, but I can't wait to see it and this one.

The man makes fantastic movies. Too bad he didn't talk about his older work, but I understand that he's got to sell the new stuff.

I was in poland a few weeks ago at the Camerimage 2004 international film festival of the art of cinematography. I met the camerman of Hero Christopher Doyle, he was drunk ( he allways is ) and tried to chat up one of my class mates. What a cool guy, hes the keith moon of Cinermatography !!

How did I overlook this interview? Hero and House of Flying Daggers both took high place on my favorite movies list immediately after seeing them.
