Nie yin niang/The Assassin (2015)

[Asfodel]

The Assassin is set in 8th century China during the Tang Dynasty. Nie Yinniang is a killer appointed to slay corrupt government officials by her master, Jiaxin, a nun who raised her from the age of ten. When Yinniang displays mercy by failing to kill during her duties, Jiaxin punishes her with a ruthless assignment designed to test Yinniang’s resolve. She is sent to the distant province of Weibo in northern China to kill its military governor Tian Ji'an — her cousin she had once been betrothed to.

Ne tepaju bez veze ovome da je "barry lyndon martial art filmova", a ja bih dodala i povremeno wong kar wai na otvorenome. Jedina mana filma je sporost, a katkad to dobro dođe kad bude kakav nestvarno lijep prizor (a takvih je 90% filma ).
Oni koji slabo podnose art dugačke lijepe filmove neka slobodno zaobiđu, a ostatak neka uživa u fotografiji, rijetkim, ali krasnim scenama borbe i predivnoj Qi Shu.
Ne znam kakvu bih ocjenu dala, jer sam gledala u 3 dijela pa se još nije sleglo kako spada. Više od 8 ne može, ali ni manje od 7. Zasad 8..
