Lost In Harmony The Movie
'Shadow,' a tale of court intrigue sprinkled with giddy duels and scenes of armored soldiers clashing, isn't quite a return to form; Zhang's first two action pictures were so nearly miraculous that it's hard to imagine them being equalled. But it's filled with so many remarkable images, particularly in its middle section, that fans of palace intrigue and metaphorically ripe violence will find plenty to like.
Be warned going in that the first half-hour of 'Shadow' is a pretty laborious setup: mostly characters walking in and out of rooms and announcing how they are related to each other, in terms of both bloodline and power dynamics. King of Pei (Zhang Kai), a snippy little despot, is still angry that a neighboring city that used to belong to his kingdom is now in the control of a general named Yang (Hu Jun), who won it in a duel. The king wants to get the city back somehow, or at least gain a foothold in it, so he offers his sister Princess Qingping (Guan Xiaotong) as a wife for Yang's son, only to be insulted by a counteroffer of making her a concubine and presenting a ceremonial dagger as a gift. To further complicate things, the king's Commander (Chinese star Deng Chao) just returned from challenging the general to a duel without authorization from higher up.

And wouldn't you know it: the Commander isn't even really the commander. He's a double named Jing (also played by Chao) who's been trained from childhood to take over for the Commander if circumstances demand it. And they do: the Commander is hiding in a secret chamber beneath the royal city, recovering from a grievous wound he sustained in the aforementioned duel with the general that resulted in the other city being lost. The only person who knows about the subterfuge is the Commander's wife Madam (Sun Li), who quite naturally starts to develop feelings for her husband's double.
The expository stuff at the front of the film isn't inherently awful—it's necessary to understand the large-scale violence that dominates the rest of the story, and the cast does a fine job of balancing simplicity and stylization with psychology. But aesthetically, it doesn't begin to hint at the splendors that await, and it promises a richness of characterization (particularly among the secondary players) that the movie, which is often pitched at the level of a brilliantly designed video game, doesn't quite deliver. (Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa—a major influence on Zhang whose works include 'Kagemusha,' another historical action/military movie with a secret double at its heart—was better at making the talky bits exciting, too.)
