Quick Review: The Grandmaster


Took me many months but I finally got to see Wong Kar Wai's latest masterpiece and, oh, what a glorious film it is!

"The Grandmaster" masterfully utilizes the legendary story of Ip Man, Bruce Lee's teacher, as a vehicle to tell the history of martial arts. It's rich, lustrous, detailed, elegant --- just magnificent! The film title is also an apt description of Wong Kar Wai himself. He is a grandmaster of cinema! His films have this power to captivate and hypnotize an audience.

The cast is outstanding, the fight sequences: amazing, the photography is simply breathtaking!

Watch it on DVD now.
