With Shadow, legendary visual stylist Zhang Yimou (Hero, House of Flying Daggers) once again pushes the boundaries of wuxia action to paint a canvas of inky blacks and greys punctuated with bursts of color from the blood of the defeated. In a kingdom ruled by a young and unpredictable king, a military commander has a secret weapon: a “shadow” look-alike who can fool both his enemies and the king himself. “A martial-arts movie landmark, as strong in its performances as it is spectacularly novel in its violence.”—Glenn Kenny, The New York Times
