Yimou’s high-flying action epic is, in a word, stunning. Here, he pairs all the visual pageantry of his “Raise the Red Lantern” with the jaw-dropping acrobatics of “Hero” and creates a beautiful, thrilling, and often sorrowful martial-arts showpiece that nearly tops his previous efforts. It helps, of course, to have the talents of Chinese superstars Lau and Kaneshiro on hand, not to mention the truly ethereal allure of Ziyi, to advance the plot-heavy narrative, which hinges on love and betrayal. Amid its dazzling hailstorm of arrows and whirling cutlasses, this “House” is solid.
