Chen Kaige's The Emperor and the Assassin was one of the more expected Chinese flops of the 90s, coming so soon after the previous telling of the same tale, The Emperor's Shadow had failed to set the box-office alight and long before the stylised Hero would become a breakout international success. Indeed, the running joke at the time was that Chen Kaige thought The Emperor's Shadow only flopped because he didn't direct it.
China seems to have the same attitude to its First Emperor (Li ... Read More

I'm starting to think that Sony Pictures Classics (for foreign films) means "movies we don't expect to sell well, so we won't spend the money on a dub that might actually make them sell well..."
It seems that several good movies have failed to get a decent dub, including the Emperor and the Assassin and The Legend of Suriyothai (which I very much wanted to see, only to be disappointed at no English track)...

If you're a fan of Gong Li, you have to watch this movie. Forget about Chinese history, this movie is about Gong Li. I have watched all her other movies, but she's absolutely gorgeous in this movie as are her acting and the costumes. Like one of the reviewers (Vu H. Vo) wrote, "As for Gong Li,who plays the Lady Zhou, what can you say? Just that her smile alone makes my heart ache as I realize I can never again be content with a woman any less than she."

The ups and downs of a fuedal Chinese king, it isn't King Lear, and it's sort of predictable with a dash of Kung Fu, Grasshopper. There's plenty of extras in 2nd Century battle gear though not much battle as in Kubicks's Spartacus. The motives of the main characters are assumed for Eastern audiences, but Westerners may be scratching their heads.
