This is a documentary about the experiences everyone had on the set of the movie "The Blade"
Tsui Hark is explaining how he came up with his ideas of doing this film, by doing it in an unconventional way (Formula as he describes it) of doing films. In other words this movie is half an experiment. Xiong Xin Xin, the choreographer is talking about his experience on the set as he lived it, complete chaos, which actually is also the philosophy of this movie. And last but not least, the screenwriter telling what a hard work it can be to create a screenplay with no dialogues at all and how to bring it up on screen.
I recommend this documentary to everyone who is interested in the truth of doing movies. Which means, not all movies are done the way the academy teaches us.
Excellent insight in the point of view of non occidental masters.
Behind the scenes.
