A look over the career of the man who showed the world slow-motion, operatic, dove-filled gun battles could be art.
After a less-than-stellar run in the U.S., director John Woo heads to China for “Red Cliff,” a period war epic starring Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Chang Cheng and others in what’s the most expensive Asian production to date.
On this week’s IFC News podcast, we look at Woo’s career and his signature stylings, at the immensely influential run of Hong Kong crime dramas that spawned the “heroic bloodshed” genre, and at his hits and misses stateside.
