The Bride with White Hair (1993)
(Bai fa mo nu zhuan)
Country: HK
Technical: col/scope
Director: Ronny Yu
Cast: Brigitte Lin (Lin Chin-hsia), Leslie Cheung (Kwok-wing), Elaine Lui (Siu-ling), Francis Ng (Chun-yu)
Synopsis:
The heir to the eight tribes of Chung Yuan falls in love with a witch, and her enslavement to a pair of necromantic siamese twins leads to disaster for everyone.
Review:
Highly kinetic blend of fantasy and martial arts, all blues and oranges and making a badge of having been shot in the studio. It has a flashback structure, delivers a dozen confusingly named (for the western viewer) characters at lightning speed and displays a characteristic taste for impossibly elaborate physical feats and corporal dismemberment. Its impressive visual effects of combatants flying through the air entered world cinema only with Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.
