Ronny Yu (THE PHANTOM LOVER; WARRIORS OF VIRTUE; THE BRIDE OF CHUCKY) directs this highly operatic fable based on a well-known martial arts novel with Leslie Cheung (A BETTER TOMORROW; FAREWELL, MY CONCUBINE) and Brigitte Lin (ZU WARRIORS FROM THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN; POLICE STORY) as doomed lovers caught in the crossfire of warring clans.
Cheung plays Zhuo Yihang, a rebellious but extremely talented swordsman of the Wudang Sect (aka the Wu-Tang Clan, a fictional martial arts sect that appears in many wuxia novels and films). One day he meets and falls in love with Lian Nichang (Lin), the adopted daughter of a rival cult led by the villainous Ji Wushuang. Zhuo convinces Lian to leave the cult to be with him, a decision which will ultimately lead to death and betrayal.
With beautiful cinematography by Peter Pau (CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON) and over-the-top action sequences, THE BRIDE WITH WHITE HAIR is one of the best swordplay fantasy films ever made.
