What's On

Set during the decline of the Tang Dynasty, as rebels challenge the corrupt government, House of Flying Daggers was director Zhang Yimou’s second film in the wuxia (“martial heroes”) genre. Takeshi Kaneshiro and Andy Lau star as police officers assigned to assassinate the unknown leader of a rebel group that has been gaining popularity. The two set a plan to arrest a dancer (Zhang Ziyi) with connections to the rebels, but a love triangle complicates their goal as hidden identities, secret plots, and double-crosses are revealed. The film was China’s official selection for the International Feature Film category at the Oscars and was nominated for Zhao Xiaoding’s cinematography.
