The Assassin (Nie yin niang)

Ongoing

Dir. Hou Hsiao-hsien. 2015, 105 mins. DCP. With Qi Shu, Chen Chang, Satoshi Tsumabuki. Living in the countryside since she was abducted during her childhood, Yinniang has become an unrivaled martial arts master.

Hou Hsiao-hsien’s first film in seven years is a breathtakingly beautiful work, its stately rhythms punctuated by eruptions of dazzling fight scenes.
