The Emperor's Shadow 1998 N/R, 116 min. Genre: Foreign / Drama
Director: Zhou Xiaowen Cast: Ge You, Jiang Wen, Xu Qing, Ge Qigxiang, Di Guoqiang, Wang Ning
Set in 221 BC, this is a beautifully filmed epic about China's first emperor, Ying Zheng (Jiang Wen). While the acting is powerful and the directing is grand, the storyline, at times, gets messy with plot twists and turns. Nevertheless, this film is well-worth viewing.
