41. House of flying daggers, 2004, Yimou Zang


Color was invented for a movie like this. While most films like to hide in the shadows House of flying daggers splashes the screen with bright colors everywhere it can. The costume design is amazing, and all the outdoor scenes are beautifully lit.
Only the bamboo fight scene could be a bit better. The blu-ray release puts a heavy green filter over it with visible digital noise, too much.
The story has plenty of twists and turns, nobody is who he claims to be. The finale is one of the best, revenge, sacrifice and despair all in one.

How I love this movie. The best film of 2004, in my opinion. It has plenty of action, but it unfolds like a Greek tragedy. Just brilliant.
