When I heard about Zhang Yi Mou directing 'Curse of The Golden Flower', I rushed to the cinema as soon as possible. Why? I had watched his previous movie 'Hero' and I like it. 'Curse of The Golden Flower' is great as I have expected to be. It's not a kung-fu, which I despise, but a drama which took place in the Forbidden City.
I love the cinematography. It's like a poetry by colours. Golden, silver, red. Dancing on the screen, making my heart melts.
Two thumbs up for Chow Yun Fat's and Gong Li's act. They are top performers. I can feel their rage, hatred, sorrow, and pain. As for Jay Chow, I cannot say that I fancy him but he's okay.
However there's something bugging my mind. Small stuff, the scene of Queen Phoenix applying the lip colour. Had they already found lipgloss? I mean, golden lipgloss.
