The Assassin (2015)
This is the first Taiwanese movie that I've ever seen, although it was also filmed in mainland (PRC) China and Japan. It wasn't as flashy or action-packed as some of the Hong Kong, or mainland Chinese movies.
Normally the bubbly film star Shu Qi is playing a subdued assassin Nie Yinniang. She hardly has more than a few lines of dialog. Her character is rather sad too. Most of the other characters are featured more prominently, but even they are more concerned with being Yinniang's next victim.
