Anyone seen this? I hear it's more than phenomenal. Some are calling it Hamlet with martial arts, but others claim it's much much more! I can't wait!

Zhang Ziyi is always good and of course I'm a fan of my "Hamlets". Thanks for the heads-up Baffy.

Sounds very interesting, though it has gotten very little press (that I'm aware of) here in the States. And I don't think it's been shown in theaters.

It appears that the filmmakers extract much of the Oedipal sense of the play, which should make for interesting viewing with the film's imperial context.
