Zhang Yimou returns to the martial arts genre in the staggeringly beautiful period epic Shadow which premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival. Winner of four prizes including Best Director at the 55th Golden Horse Film Awards, the slow-burning saga is a stately dissection of political intrigue and power struggle between a general, his shadow and his king. Lensed by Zhang regular Zhao Xiaoding, Shadow is presented in near monochromatic photography evocative of a traditional ink wash painting and features award-winning costume and production design by Horace Ma and Chen Minzheng. Deng Chao ( Mermaid ) takes on dual roles opposite wife Sun Li ( Mural ) in the Three Kingdoms era epic, which also co-stars Zheng Kai ( The Great Wall ), Guan Xiaotong ( The Promise ), Hu Jun ( As the Light Goes Out ), Wu Lei ( Asura ), Wang Qianyuan ( Peace Breaker ) and Wang Jingchun ( So Long, My Son ). Trouble brews in the Kingdom of Pei after an enemy state occupies contested territory. Aggressive military commander Zi Yu (Deng Chao) and King Pei Liang (Zheng Kai) disagree over war and diplomacy, leading to a tense showdown in the royal court. Unbeknownst to Pei Liang, Zi Yu is in critical condition and has deployed doppelganger Jing Zhou to pose as him. Trained for years to be Zi Yu's shadow, Jing Zhou is suddenly thrust into the conspiracy and Machiavellian powerplay of his master and the King.
