Chinese writer and director Wong Kar Wai returns to the martial arts genre for this biographical drama. The life of martial-arts master Ip Man is explored before and after WWII where tragedy marks his life before he became a legend teaching amongst others another legend, Bruce Lee. Kar Wai brings his poetic style and signature to the story where drops of water, snowflakes and smoke have as much impact as the fight themselves. Kar Wai regular Tony Leung stars with another solid performance while Ziyi Zhang delivers a heartbreaking performance in a crucial role. 1001 Films' coverage of current releases.
