The Assassin Nie Yinniang

After Lonely Tianbao, the great Tang Dynasty came to an end, and the majesty and centripetal force of the court were further weakened. At this time, there were many vassal towns and factions. Amidst the chaos of fragmentation, the Li Empire barely maintained its fragile peace and prestige. In Weibo Town, one of the three towns in Hebei, Tian Ji'an (played by Zhang Zhen), the headstrong and violent Jiedushi, is ambitious and moves his camera. The imperial court sent Shen Ce troops to attack Wang Chengzong, but Wei bloggers and subordinates each had their own opinions, and there were constant disputes. At the same time, Tian Ji'an's cousin Nie Yinniang (played by Shu Qi), who was taken to the mountain by the princess Taoist nun to practice swordsmanship since she was a child, returns with her master. She followed her master's teachings and adhered to the concept of killing one person to save ten thousand people. She killed many officials one after another, and this time she returned and targeted Tian Ji'an. The swordsmanship has been perfected, but the Taoist heart has not been firm. The chivalrous woman Nie Yinniang is as agile as an ape and disappears from the world of mortals... This film is adapted from the legendary novel "Nie Yinniang" by Pei Xing of the Tang Dynasty and won the Best Director Award in the competition section of the 68th Cannes Film Festival.
