The Promise (2005) (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version)
The Promise partners director Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine) with an acclaimed international cast to create an imaginative and epic romantic fantasy. Sanada Hiroyuki (The Twilight Samurai), Jang Dong Gun (Tae Guk Gi), Nicholas Tse (Invisible Target), Cecilia Cheung (Lost in Time) and Liu Ye (Blood Brothers) star in this tale of a young princess (Cheung) who is fated never to love, and the various men who vie for her affections. Both General Guangming (Sanada) and rival Wuhuan (Tse) desire to possess her for themselves, but noble slave Kunlun (Jang) is willing to sacrifice everything that he has – including his life – to alter her fate.
Boasting a massive 300 million yuan (US$37 million) budget, The Promise is among the most expensive Chinese films ever made, and features spectacular visuals, exciting action sequences, and dazzling computer effects from Centro Digital (Kung Fu Hustle). Peter Pau and Tim Yip, both Oscar winners for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon provide the cinematography and art direction, respectively, while Yip collaborates with Masago Kimiya on the exquisite costumes. Visually arresting and romantic, The Promise is perhaps one of the most opulent Chinese films ever made. Nominated at the 63rd Golden Globe Awards for Best Foreign Language Film..
