House of Flying Daggers (2004)

Despite some of the most visually stunning moments EVER on screen (in particular her dance/fight sequence at the beginning and the finale in the snow), the story jumped between serious spy story, epic romance, and some sort of fantastic fable. It just doesn't bode well for the movie if I giggled when a main character died and then laughed even harder when they came back to life. I would watch it again, but only in the original language with subtitles off so I can just enjoy the visuals without being distracted by the story. 3 stars.
