Bichunmoo
7.5 out of 10
south Korea 2000
A story of love and love not returned. Jinha is the hero, a swordsman of the much sort after Bichunmoo (pronounced Bi-chun-moo) art, a swordsman few match in 1-on-1 combat. Sullie is the woman he loves and loves him in return. Fate is not of thier side. A story full of texture with music that mixes both Eastern and Western styles. While the film breaks no new ground in term of story, style or action sequences, it does have a plot that does not jump around too much and can be followed. For someone interested in checking out Asian Kungfu films they would find this an excellent place to start. For those already into them it is a worth while (well worth while) visit to the cinemas or video store.
