I saw this in the 90's, and I want to watch it again now in memory of reverence for its profundity.
It's an astonishing cinematic experience.
The visuals on display are some kind of neo perfect oriental dance of solution in a mad love story set in China, between an innocent young blind girl, and an arrogant prince.
As a film maker with a Masters degree in film directing myself, I cannot conceive easily of the intelligence of the visionary behind this film.
It really is romantic, poetic, spell bounding, and ultra deadly.
Ideas and moments of breathtaking staging are delivered in staggering aplomb.
It is monumentally intriguing and beautiful, and respect vectors from cinema makers tend to orbit new frequencies when witnessing this kind of fare.
True art.
