Featuring some impressively grand battlefield action, John Woo returns to Asia and returns to form in the process for this lavish and slick historical epic.
Director John Woo turns to Chinese history for inspiration with RED CLIFF. The Han Dynasty is facing its death in third century China, and the emperor raises a million-man army against two kingdoms that are hopelessly outmatched. This war film stars Tony Leung, the beloved actor best known for LUST, CAUTION and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE

Reviews:
This is one of the best foreign language films of 2009. Woo demonstrates a storytelling style of swiftness and grandeur that has been compared to the samurai classics of Akira Kurosawa.

Entertainment Spectrum
Spectacular is the most appropriate word to describe this epic historical adventure - it's visually impeccable and impressive.

... a triumph [that] demands to be seen on the biggest possible screen.

The
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
"Asian Influence on American Ceramics "
June 9, 2009 - January 24, 2010
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art | Current Exhibitions
Chinese
art put Kansas City on the map nationally and internationally in
the art world.
Since
opening in 1933, the Nelson-Atkins has actively collected, preserved,
studied and exhibited works of Chinese art. Even before the Museum
was built, its benefactors planned to include the first major museum
gallery dedicated to Chinese art in America.
Around
1930, the Museum began acquiring works of art from China to build
a collection that would represent this oldest continuous civilization's
highest achievements in every medium of art and from every historical
period. Thereafter, the Nelson-Atkins has been able to maintain
consistently high standards, making its permanent Chinese art collection
one of the finest in the world.
With
nearly 8,000 accessioned works of high quality, the Chinese collection
- as its benefactors envisioned - consists of masterpieces in each
of China's artistic forms and from every historical stage, beginning
with Neolithic times through to the 20th century.
The
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is recognized nationally and internationally
as one of America's finest general art museums.
