I never had the pleasure to catch the original cut but after WKW discussed the situation of the first (bonus feature), Redux seems to be the appropriate cut to watch. This is a much more lyrical and refreshing take on the wuxia genre that was desperately needed. But to be honest, the story just kinda went out the window after ten minutes. And yet, the time just flew by and captivated me with breathtaking images lensed by none other than Chris Doyle. But it’s not difficult to please me in this case. After all, this movie is blessed with basically a who’s who of contemporary Chinese acting greats.
