Kanji-the-wanderer, i agree totally with you, i think the way he uses the natural settings around where he works on his films is great, for example the blend of the trees and use with bamboo in comparison with what they wore in house of flying daggers was amazing, and the start in the poeny pavilion, with the dancing and echo game, the dress and colours in the background was spectacular, i have also yet to see 'the banquet' and 'curse of the golden flower' but hopefully purchasing them next week
Will.
