On Tuesday night, I watched Zhang Yimou’s Shadow on DVD, which looks brilliant (of course), all blacks, whites, greys and amazing production design, but nearly all the characters are crazysauce (many of them have their reasons when you learn about their upbringing. Most of them let out a primal scream at some point or a maniacal laugh.) I wish there had been more action, because what there is, especially with the umbrellas, is great. It’s no Hero, but I’m feeling like revisiting House of the Flying Daggers, which I never got on DVD, because I didn't rate it as highly.
