Curse of the Golden Flower is one of Zhang Yimou's most recent films and is one of the most expensive in Chinese cinema history. As with all of his previous films, Curse of the Golden Flower goes back into Chinese history, specifically to the 10th century. Zhang Yimou once again makes use of brilliant color and swordfights to ensure the success of this film. Yet, unlike the film Hero, he avoids involving China's political struggles. The link that I have provided will give you some more interesting information and opinions of the film provided by Wesley Morris. The clip below is a trailer of the film which really displays some of the great directing by Zhang Yimou.
