A\u00a0wuxia\u00a0like no other,\u00a0The Assassin\u00a0is set in the waning years of the Tang Dynasty when provincial rulers are challenging the power of royal court. Nie Yinniang (Shu Qi), who was exiled as a child so that her betrothed could make a more politically advantageous match, has been trained as an assassin for hire. Her mission is to destroy her former fianc\u00e9 (Chang Chen). But worry not about the plot, which is as old as the jagged mountains and deep forests that bear witness to the cycles of power and as elusive as the mists that surround them. Hou Hsiao-hsien\u2019s art is in the telling. The film is immersive and ephemeral, sensuous and spare, and as gloriously beautiful in its candle-lit sumptuous red and gold decor as Hou\u2019s 1998 masterpiece,Flowers of Shanghai. As for the fight scenes, they\u2019re over almost before you realize they\u2019ve happened, but they will stay in your mind\u2019s eye forever. A Well Go USA release.<\/p>\n
