THE SWORD WITH NO NAME (2009, 124 minutes, New York Premiere)
SWORD is the epitome of posh, luscious, decadent period filmmaking. Based on the real life Empress Myeongseong, it tells her story through the eyes of a bounty hunter who becomes her bodyguard (Cho Seung-Woo, now doing his mandatory military service). She tries to stand up to Russian and Japanese intervention in 19th Century Korea and the results are a series of luxurious, CGI-enhanced action scenes alternating with carefully calibrated and eye-meltingly colorful court life pageants, making this movie feel like an unholy mix of Merchant-Ivory and THE MATRIX
