"Empress Wu Tse-tien" is an early Li Han-hsiang palace chamber masterpiece that is epic in scale. Director Li demonstrated his command over grand sets and big casts, a skill that synced well with the fine craftsmanship and spectacular sets of set designer Chan King-sam.
With a pair of piercing eyes ready to spark contempt when they find the right target, leading actress Li Lihua brilliantly portrays Empress Wu's ruthless exercise of power. (Press release) |
