Curse of the Golden Flower, AKA "Gosh damn, the Tang Dynasty circa 971 A.D. was seriously fucked up and Zhang Yimou doesn't pull any punches"
Pulling no punches can be good, but Zhang takes a lot of things too far. He shows no restraint, and that leads to the film's downfall. I wasn't a big fan of Hero or House of Flying Daggers either. I guess I just really don't like his "martial arts epics."
I much prefer his earlier films, Red Sorgham and To Live (the only other ones I've seen).
