Reasonably entertaining but overlong and overhyped tale of resistance fighters in occupied Shanghai prior to and during WWII.
As with Notes on A Scandal, you should probably go and see it for fear of otherwise becoming an outcast on the middle-class-dinner-party circuit.
In case you don’t, here’s a few phrases to toss around during the palate cleanser course…
“Stunning photography!”
“Mesmerising performance from [Tony Leung/Wei Tang/Joan Chen/Lee-Hom Wang *]“
“The sex scenes were absolutely integral to the plot.”
“Fantastic locations!”
