Hero (2002)
A Cinematic Tribute to Honour and Sacrifice
This month, we think about stories of courage and sacrifice through Hero, a visually stunning wuxia masterpiece from China. Directed by Zhang Yimou, the film combines breath-taking visuals with themes of loyalty and the pursuit of peace.
Set in ancient China, a nameless warrior tells the story of his quest. He aimed to defeat three assassins threatening the Emperor’s life. A profound twist in his motives is later revealed.
