In Detail

Set in 19th century China and centring on three marvellously delineated warriors (wonderfully played by Chow Yun Fat, Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi), director Ang Lee’s masterwork kicks into high-flying gear when a remarkable sword known as the Green Destiny gets stolen.

Bolstered by its operatic sweep, this film never forgets to have fun even as it’s tackling such straight-faced issues as honour, devotion and compassion. Nominated for ten Academy Awards (including Best Picture), it won four, including Best Foreign Language Film.
