13. Hero



"Zhang Yimou's 'Hero' is beautiful and beguiling, a martial arts extravaganza defining the styles and lives of its fighters within Chinese tradition. It is also, like 'Rashomon,' a mystery told from more than one point of view; we hear several stories which all could be true, or false. The movie opens, like many folk legends, with a storyteller before the throne of an imperious ruler, counting on his wits to protect his life." --excerpt from a full review on RogerEbert.com
