The disappearance of a magical jade sword spurs a breathtaking quest for the missing treasure. Li is embittered by the loss of his jade sword, and his unrequited pursuit of Yu is further complicated by the mysterious intrusion of an assassin. The identity of the assassin is gradually unveiled as another poignant tale of love begins to ravel with that of Li and Yu against the backdrop of Western China's magnificent landscape.
To me, this is one of the finest films ever made. The fight choreography is the work of a genius, every sword fight is gorgeous and the duel among the treetops is insanely beautiful. It probably would be best to just describe it as a work of art. It made a huge splash on release and became an instant classic, but if you somehow missed it, do yourself a favor and give it a watch.
