Red Cliff (I and II)


Red Cliff (2008) and Red Cliff II (2009) – One film, really – it’s a visually impressive military epic; John Woo gives us the stylized, larger-than-life action shots we expect from him as well as sweeping cinematography appropriate to a scale this grand; tactically, Woo does sacrifice historical accuracy for style, but the story is sound, and the whole thing works; make sure you see the 4+ hour original version. 7 for each.
