Ip Man, a legendary martial artist and teacher of Bruce Lee, lives a peaceful life in Foshan. But it changes after Gong Yutian seeks an heir for his family in Southern China. Ip Man then meets Gong Er who challenges him for the sake of regaining her family's honor. After the Second Sino-Japanese War, Ip Man moves to Hong Kong and struggles to provide for his family. In the mean time, Gong Er chooses the path of vengeance after his father was killed by Ma San.
The Grandmaster became quite the spectacle for some time, due to being in development for many years. Director Wong Kar-wai (Fallen Angels, 2046) took many breaks during the production (some were even long enough that actor Tony Leung could shoot other movies during that time) but luckily he finished it.
It's a smash hit on all fronts, a martial art film of epic proportions and delivers jaw-dropping moments constantly. One of the best shot movies in recent years, without a doubt.
